The Moldovan opposition is holding a rally against the expulsion of Russian diplomats at Chisinau airport. This was reported on April 2 by Canal 5 TV channel.

The authorities in Chisinau are trying to destroy the opposition before the situation in Ukraine is resolved.

On March 31, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Moldova declared three employees of the Russian Embassy persona non grata in the republic. The relevant document was handed over to the Russian diplomat. It claims that the staff of the diplomatic mission allegedly conduct activities contrary to their diplomatic status in Moldova.

Later that day, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the Moldovan authorities' decision to expel Russian diplomats from the republic was part of Chisinau's anti-Russian course.
