India Confirms Talks With Russia To Deepen Energy Cooperation<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAt a briefing on the sidelines of the International Festival of Youth (IFY), the Russian diplomat commented on Finland\u2019s move to join a France-led nuclear deterrence initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, what else drives European authorities\u2019 attempts, as part of the expansion of their nuclear outreach, to pull nuclear weapons closer to Russian borders\u2026 under the pretext of an alleged Russian threat, as sovereign countries agree to host them despite the will of their own citizens?\u201d Zakharova asked rhetorically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis, among other things, significantly facilitates the task for our military, which would have an expanded arsenal of potential means of destruction to strike relevant facilities even from a shorter range \u2014 of course, in the event of conflict,\u201d she argued, as reported by the TASS agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the news conference, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman also mentioned that Moldova has no right to deprive Russian citizens in Transnistria of the opportunity to vote in elections to the State Duma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRussian citizens have the right to freely express their will; this is one of the fundamental human rights. By the way, these are precisely the same values, including Western values, by the way, Western European ones, to which Chisinau seems to have sworn allegiance,\u201d Zakharova said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBoth Russia and, by the way, Moldova have obligations in this regard, including within the OSCE framework. There are 200,000, even more than 200,000 Russian citizens living in Transnistria,\u201d the Russian diplomat said, referring to Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihail Popsoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWas it FM Popsoi who decided that they could be deprived of the right to vote? Chisinau has no right to deprive residents on the right bank of the Dniester of the opportunity to vote. They should not hide behind any made-up pretexts,\u201d Zakharova pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
