June 23 (EUROPA PRESS) –
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Thursday that the Moldovan authorities are trying to “cancel everything Russian” due to the approval of a law in Moldova that prohibits rebroadcasting of news programs from Russia.
The president of Moldova, Maia Sandu, promulgated this Sunday a law that establishes that “news and political or military broadcasts from countries that have not ratified the Convention on Cross-Border Television, including Russia, will be prohibited by decision of the Emergency Situations Commission “.
This was confirmed by the head of the Audiovisual Council, Liliana Vitu, in statements to the Rlive.tv channel on Saturday night. With the entry into force of the law, these information products will disappear from broadcast grids, even after the state of emergency expires.
Therefore, Lavrov has said that Moldova is going the same way as Ukraine by abolishing “all” Russian content. Lavrov has also taken advantage, during an interview with the State Radio and Television of Belarus, collected by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Thus, he has said that kyiv “has no history without Russia.” “The West, rubbing its hands and pushing them down this slippery path, encouraged such an approach and a conceptual vision of the Ukrainian state, if only to harm, as they believed, create threats, unbalance the Russian Federation,” he explained.
The foreign minister has been skeptical about a return to the negotiating table. “I don’t see the possibility that they (Ukraine) will be allowed to return to the negotiation procedure,” he explained.
Despite this, Lavrov has indicated that he would accept “with pleasure” the invitation of the Belarusian president, Alexander Lukashenko, to meet there to negotiate, but has added that, for the moment, he will not make plans for a future meeting.
On the other hand, he has accused the UN Secretary General, António Guterres, of prolonging the food crisis with his actions. “The slow response to an apparently urgent issue is alarming,” he said, adding that “he wants to agree first on Ukrainian grain and then on Russian.”
