Russia says Western military assistance pushes Moldova to 'catastrophe'Moscow calls on Moldova to perceive ‘consciously’ Western proposals to ‘increase defense capability’MOSCOWThe Western military assistance to Moldova does not add to the country's security and sovereignty, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said on Saturday."As experience shows, the reckless pumping of a country with Western weapons does not add to its security and sovereignty, but, on the contrary, brings it closer to catastrophe," Mikhail Galuzin told the Russian state-run RIA news agency.Commenting on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, he said implementation of the trilateral agreements between Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan will contribute to the progress in work on a peace treaty between Baku and Yerevan.Armenia and Azerbaijan fought a 44-day war in September 2020 over Nagorno-Karabakh, a territory internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, and seven adjacent regions.The war, which ended with a Russia-brokered peace deal, saw Azerbaijan liberate several cities and over 300 settlements and villages that were occupied by Armenia for almost 30 years."
