The Moldovan authorities are trying to turn the country into a logistics base for Kiev. This was stated to “Izvestia“ Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Mikhail Galuzin.
The diplomat noted that Russia views the approved military strategy of Moldova for 2025-2030 as another step aimed at "militarizing the country, joining NATO and turning it into a logistics base for supplying the criminal Kiev regime".
"This is what the Western sponsors of the Moldovan leadership are actively pursuing under the guise of European integration," said Galuzin.
According to him, the anti-Russian focus of the strategy is obvious. The deputy minister noted that Russia "has always demonstrated its intention to develop a pragmatic and mutually respectful dialogue with Moldova, based on equality and non-interference in its internal affairs".
Galuzin stressed that NATO arms supplies to the republic are constantly increasing, and Moldovan troops participate in exercises with alliance countries. "In 2024 alone, there were over 30. With the support of NATO, 18 long-term projects are being implemented in the republic. It is no coincidence that a key element of the new military strategy is the provision that the military training of Moldovan servicemen will be carried out "in accordance with NATO standards", the diplomat said.
