Chisinau: The Russian ambassador in Chisinau has urged Moldova to address the arising issues professionally rather than filing protests after each incident. Oleg Ozerov spoke with reporters after visiting the Moldovan Foreign Ministry, where he was summoned to protest the crash of an alleged Russian drone in the country on Tuesday, the Russian news agency Tass reported on Wednesday.

According to Anadolu Agency, Ozerov stated that there are 'many false-flag operations' and attempts to 'damage relations' between Russia and Moldova, which are already 'at their lowest point.' He emphasized the need for a constructive dialogue to understand the true causes of recent events, rather than immediately resorting to protests.

Chisinau announced on Tuesday that it would summon Russia's ambassador to Moldova over what it described as a violation of its airspace. The Moldovan Defense Ministry reported that six drones had crossed into the country's airspace "without authorization" amid overnight Russian airstrikes in neighboring Ukraine.

The Moldovan Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the airspace violation by "several drones," including one that reportedly crashed in a locality in the country's northeastern Floresti district.
