Russia’s foreign minister said the EU was trying to make Moldova a “second Ukraine” and that this was in line with the consumerist approach of the current leadership.
“Of course, Moldova is clearly trying to make a second Ukraine,” Lavrov said.
“Such a consumerist approach on the part of the current Moldovan leadership is very telling when they say, ‘Let’s start joining the European Union now, then we’ll see what they promise us, and then maybe we’ll decide whether to stay in the Commonwealth of Independent States.’ “and similar statements,” the Russian foreign minister explained.
The granting by the European Union of Ukraine the status of a candidate country for membership will mean that Brussels is guided primarily by geopolitical interests in matters of enlargement of the bloc. This was stated today in an interview with NTV on the sidelines of the International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, quoted by TASS.
“If Ukraine is given a roadmap for preparing for membership, it will only mean that the European Union is once again ready to turn a blind eye to all its criteria, which have always existed for candidates, and is ready to be guided exclusively by geopolitical considerations “, the Russian Minister noted.
