DISINFORMATION: Moldova will enter a profound crisis when, pressed by the EU, it introduces sanctions against Russia

NEWS: “If these ruling bastards vote in favor of aligning to the regime of sanctions against Russia, next autumn and winter Moldova will endure famine, cold and poverty”. The warning comes from the leader of SHOR Party, Ilan Shor, after our country obtained EU candidate status, Partidulsor.MD writes. In a video recording posted on his Facebook account, Ilan Shor expresses confidence the Moldovan authorities have struck a deal with a view to our country obtaining EU candidate status in order to join the European Union in exchange for Moldova subscribing to the sanctions against Russia.

Moldova joining anti-Russian sanctions is interpreted as proof of its loyalty towards the West. If Chișinău will move from words to action, Russia will retaliate in the field of energy. Moldova’s involvement in the war of sanctions will be followed by an economic catastrophe – Moldova will slip back into the Middle Ages”, Manastyrli argues. […]
