Naryshkin assessed Sandu's actions against the background of the Hutsul situation

On April 25, Sergei Naryshkin, director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), supported the statement that Moldovan President Maia Sandu was "playing with fire."

"If you want to call it that, please," Naryshkin told TASS.

This is how he answered the question of whether it is possible to say that the Moldovan president is "playing with fire" in the light of the situation with the head of Gagauzia, Evgenia Gutsul, and other politicians.
