“Moldova is now eyeing this role,” Lavrov said, answering a relevant question in an interview with RIA Novosti and the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

According to him, at present the head of the country is the president, "which is simply torn, torn itself into NATO."

“She has Romanian citizenship, she is ready to unite with Romania and is generally ready for almost anything,” he added.

Earlier, former Moldovan President Igor Dodon said he did not believe that Moldova would become a member of the European Union, and expressed the opinion that the republic should cooperate with Moscow.
