The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Moldova, Nicu Popescu, has requested the limitation of the number of Russian diplomats accredited to Chisinau. According to Radio Chisinau, the minister motivated his request by stressing that the Republic of Moldova has been the target of Moscow’s hostile policies for several years and that some of them have been carried out through the Russian Embassy. We recall that the ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Moldova, Oleg Vasnetsov, was called to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Chisinau to give explanations, after a journalistic investigation showed that the Russian diplomatic mission had installed high-performance spying and interception equipment. The Chisinau press talks about 28 parabolic antennas, masts and transmission and reception devices, and people associated with the Russian intelligence services have been seen on the buildings.
