The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned the Moldovan ambassador and protested in connection with the persona non grata declaration of an employee of the Russian embassy in Chisinau. They emphasized that this was done "under the pretext of allegedly discovering the remains of a UAV carrying explosives in the territory of the Republic". "It was noted that the lack of evidence of the Russian origin of the mentioned UAV indicates the far-fetched nature of the corresponding decision, which has become another unfriendly step by Moldova. Its real goal is to further destroy the centuries-old Russia-Moldova relations and create the most unfavorable conditions for the work of the RZU in Chisinau," the statement said.
