Protester Tried to Enter Russian Embassy in Kishinev, Diplomatic Mission Says
15:33 GMT 08.10.2022 (Updated: 16:21 GMT 08.10.2022) The landlocked Eastern European nation sandwiched between Ukraine and Romania has become the site of widespread political unrest in recent months, with opposition forces rallying against the pro-Western government of President Maia Sandu and demanding her resignation.
A protester demonstrating outside the Russian Embassy in Kishinev on Friday attempted to enter the compound, and the building itself has sustained damage as a result of his actions, the diplomatic mission said in a statement Saturday.
The embassy issued a formal note of protest to Moldova in connection with the "hostile action" which took place outside the diplomatic facility.
"The Embassy expects that this hostile stunt will receive an appropriate procedural assessment and will not be repeated in the future, and that the perpetrators will be punished," the diplomatic mission said.
Earlier in the day Saturday, Kishinev police announced that they had detained a 40-year-old man accused of carrying out "several acts of hooliganism" near the Russian Embassy on Friday, coinciding with the birthday of Russia's president, including setting off fireworks directly beside the building, hanging a piece of white and blue fabric on a metal pole, leaving an obscene inscription on the gate of the building, climbing a protective fence, and shouting anti-Russian slogans.
The man resisted arrest, and was detained for 72 hours. He has been charged with disorderly conduct - a charge which carries with it a fine, community service time, or imprisonment.
Moldova has faced months of unrest, with opposition forces repeatedly
taking to the streets to demand the resignation of the government over skyrocketing food and gas prices, inflation, and falling living standards. In addition to economic concerns, some opposition forces have also
demonstrated against the political repression of pro-Russian and pro-neutrality parties and politicians, including former President Igor Dodon, who was arrested on "high treason" charges in May and placed under house arrest. Dodon has vocally denied the charges against him.
