#Russia: MFA spokeswoman Zakharova commented on the Moldovan elections, noting that only one party pleads for a balanced foreign policy between Russia and the West. She was referring to the Communists and Socialists Bloc, without naming it. On the other hand, Zakharova argued⤵️
that other electoral candidates are only pro-Western, which in the event of their victory would be detrimental to ties with Russia. In reality, none of the pro-EU parties has set a goal to deteriorate the dialogue with Moscow. Zakharova reiterated that Russia is closely⤵️
monitoring the electoral situation in Moldova. She complained that the EU and the US would allegedly get involved in the election campaign by criticizing the pro-Russian parties. As far as I know, the Western politician could comment on the quality of certain reforms,⤵️
without offering any support to anyone. This does not mean that some local politicians or the media that rally in favor of reforms are not deliberately politicizing critical comments from Western diplomats promoting reform. Zakharova has stressed that Russia not only supports⤵️
the independence of Moldova, but also wants the preservation of the constitutional neutrality and balanced foreign policy of the country. The same ideas are prominent in the electoral program of the pro-Russian forces in Moldova. END
