Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean said on the air of ‘Exclusive TV’ that the country is looking for an opportunity to resume remittances from its citizens located on the territory of the Russian Federation and criticised the West for the ban on financial transactions.
Kishenev joined the West’s sanctions against Russia, imposed after the start of a special military operation in Ukraine. Moldovan President Maia Sandu, explained that the Moldovan authorities imposed the restrictions so that their country’s banking system and areas of the economy would not be subjected to restriction.
‘The government, on the contrary, is looking for opportunities so that our citizens who are in Russia can send money to Moldova. And vice versa, those who live in Moldova could transfer money to Russia,’ Dorin Recean said.
According to him, the cancellation of money transfers between the countries affected hundreds of thousands of citizens. He explained that labour migrants in Russia send about one billion dollars to their relatives in Moldova every year. Recean stressed that the decision to restrict remittances was taken not by the Moldovan government, but by Western countries, including the USA.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Western ideas of the new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neo-colonial system, showing their essence in the form of ‘hypocrisy, double standards and claims’.
