Medvedev wished Moldova to "enjoy sanctions" before joining the EU

Moldova, which has become a candidate for EU membership, has shown its readiness to join the sanctions against RUSSIA, Medvedev said. In Chisinau, they said earlier

Moldova's desire to join the European Union indicates Chisinau's readiness to join the sanctions against Russia, said Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.

“Now they ran ahead of the locomotive. Trying to please their new masters, not being in the EU, we are ready to join European sanctions against our country, ”he said in TELEGRAM

According to Medvedev, the Moldovan authorities "can be 100% sure that they will not receive from us not only "expensive" energy and other resources, but none at all." “Let them enjoy the sanctions before they get into the EU,” he wrote.

Sandu hoped for Moldova's accession to the EU together with Pridnestrovie Politics

Medvedev believes that Chisinau will have to wait decades before joining the EU. According to the deputy chairman of the Security Council, "a much more relevant" way to get membership in the association is "the creation of a new Greater Romania (Romania Mare)". Romanian politicians, writes Medvedev, have long been "leading political round dances around Moldova," officials in Bucharest are "openly stepping up efforts in various formats to 'legally' take over" the country.

He accused Moldovan President Maia Sandu of being ready to “strike out the statehood of the country entrusted to her in one fell swoop.” The deputy chairman of the Security Council asked if citizens of Moldova, who were “promised nothing”, “except for the ephemeral“ European prospects ”in the status of an EU candidate: the loss of the Russian market and“ high European prices ”in stores, need to join the European Union.

Moldova applied for EU membership in early March, following Ukraine and Georgia. On June 17, the European Commission recommended granting Moldova and Ukraine the status of an EU candidate country "under the understanding that further steps will be taken", while Georgia was offered a "European perspective". On June 23, the HEAD of the European Council, Charles Michel, announced that Chisinau and Kyiv received the status and took "a decisive step on the way to the EU."

Ukraine and Moldova become candidates for EU membership Politics

Sandu said that the candidate status gives Moldova a clear direction for development, the country "will be safer in the EU family." The President warned that the Moldovans will face “long and difficult work” on their way to the European Union, but Chisinau is ready for “any political costs”. She also expressed hope that Moldova will become a member of the European Union together with Pridnestrovie, the conflict with the unrecognized republic will be resolved before joining the union. At the same time, the Pridnestrovian authorities said that the vector of development of the region involves gaining independence and rapprochement with Russia.

Since the beginning of the Russian military operation, the European Union has introduced six packages of sanctions against Russia and is now preparing the seventh, according to the Polish Foreign Ministry. Moldovan Foreign Minister Nicolae Popescu pointed out that Chisinau could not fully support EU restrictions due to the instability of its economy. He noted that the country applies certain restrictions on Moscow in the financial and banking sector. The Moldovan authorities also believe that the country should not leave the CIS for the sake of trade relations with other members of the association.
