The Constitutional Court of Moldova appealed to the Venice Commission on the issue of banning the St. George ribbon

Sputnik Moldova writes about this.

It is noted that the court asks the commission to give an opinion on the ban in Moldova of symbols that were classified as "elements related to military aggression, war crimes and crimes against humanity."

On April 19, Moldovan President Maia Sandu approved a ban on the use of the St. George ribbon.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called this decision of the Moldovan authorities a betrayal and called for abandoning confrontational rhetoric.
