Moscow Summons Moldovan Envoy After Police Confrontation

Moscow claims that a specific weekend incident involved Moldovan police using physical force against Russian embassy staff, a move the Kremlin characterizes as a direct violation of diplomatic norms. These allegations have prompted Russia to warn of potential retaliatory measures, threatening to further destabilize an already brittle relationship. By officially confronting the Moldovan envoy, the Russian government has signaled that the current status quo regarding embassy security is unsustainable. The situation remains volatile as both capitals weigh the impact of these intensifying diplomatic frictions.
