In a brutal interview, putin’s aid and probably the most dangerous paranoid man in Russia, Nikolai Patrushev clearly announces Russia's position: the partition of Europe and the disappearance of Ukraine, Moldova and possible the Baltic States.
He was asked what his analysis was on Russia’s relations with the Baltic States and Moldova?
“For us, the vital issue remains the protection and well-being of our citizens and compatriots around the world. At the international level, it is absolutely necessary to put an end to the discrimination suffered by the Russian population in a number of territories, starting with the Baltic countries and Moldova. The authorities of these states continue to deliberately sink into a dramatic crisis, a consequence of their thoughtless actions, while persevering in their Russophobic propaganda.
The example of the energy crisis is absolutely clear: the responsibility lies entirely with the Moldovan authorities, who have servedly bowed to Brussels' injunctions to reduce their dependence on Russian gas. Chisinau must stop lying to itself and deceiving his own people. The Moldovan authorities would do better to recognise their mistakes and correct the shot, rather than look for enemies inside the country or in Transnistria.
I do not rule out that Chisinau's aggressively anti-Russian policy will lead to the absorption of Moldova by another state or its outright disappearance. In this context, the example that comes to mind is naturally that of Ukraine, where neo-Nazism and Russophobia led the country to its downfall - well before the launch of the special military operation.”
