"To date, no country has been able to bring its citizens out of this area. We are in constant dialogue with international partners in order to succeed in evacuating civilians, including the citizens of the Republic of Moldova", reads Prima Sursă.

We remind you that a consular official has been delegated to Egypt, ready to move to the Rafah crossing point at any time to release the necessary documents to our citizens from Gaza and to facilitate their journey to Cairo and, subsequently, to the Republic of Moldova.

There are about 100-120 registered Moldovan citizens in the Gaza Strip.

According to the official, the rejection of Ozerov's candidacy would serve as a basis for Moscow to victimize itself and accuse Chisinau of acting against the Russian Federation. The clarifications were made in the context in which Oleg Ozerov made controversial statements during his career and allegedly had links with the Wagner paramilitary group.
