Moldova has declared three Russian diplomats personae non gratae after accusing the Russian Embassy of assisting pro-Kremlin lawmaker Alexander Nesterovschii in fleeing to Transnistria to evade a 12-year prison sentence for illegal political funding. This incident has sparked a diplomatic dispute, with Moldova's government releasing footage indicating Nesterovschii's entry into the Russian Embassy shortly before his sentencing. Russia's Foreign Ministry has promised a retaliatory response, underscoring the ongoing tensions between Moldova's pro-European administration and Moscow's influence in the region.
Moldova has expelled three Russian diplomats for allegedly aiding a pro-Kremlin lawmaker's escape to Transnistria, prompting a sharp response from Moscow.
The case centers on Alexander Nesterovschii, who attempted to escape imprisonment just as he was convicted of illegal political funding.
