Kremlinul atacă numirea lui Claudiu Năsui la Chișinău
Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, criticized Moldova's government for appointing Romanian Claudiu Năsui as Minister of Economic Development, claiming it shows Moldova is surrendering to Romania. She argued that this decision reflects the failure of pro-Western forces in Moldova and accused them of lacking qualified candidates. Zakharova also mentioned that the Moldovan president signed a citizenship decree on the same day, suggesting it was a superficial move to minimize opposition. She asserted that Moldovans reject such initiatives that threaten their independence and national identity, especially on the anniversary of their independence from the Soviet Union.
