Transnistria crisis. Chisinau's firm reply to Moscow

On Saturday, the government in Chisinau issued an official retort to the messages coming from the Kremlin.

"Minister Lavrov and the Kremlin regime have no ethical standing to preach about democracy and freedom. A nation that incarcerates and assassinates opposition figures, unjustifiably invades its neighbours, offers the world nothing but sorrow and strife" - was stated in the response from the Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
