Vandals abused the monuments to the Romanian military in Moldova

In Moldova, in the city of Falesti, vandals defaced the monuments to the Romanian soldiers who defended Moldova from the Soviet occupation.

In particular, the letters Z, V and a swastika painted in blue appeared on the tombstones erected at the burial site of the Romanian soldiers. The Moldovan Foreign Ministry, the police, as well as the Romanian embassy condemned the actions of the vandals, according to the Chisinau edition of Newsmaker .

Local media drew attention to the fact that photos of the desecrated monuments were published by Oleg Savva, a member of the Moldovan Parliament from the Socialist Party. He admitted, this was the first reaction of the city of Felest to the ban on the symbols of Russian aggression adopted by the Moldovan Parliament. The Socialist Party, from which he was elected to parliament, is considered pro-Russian.

Monuments to Romanians, desecrated with pro-Russian symbols, are located on the territory of the Russian school Felesht - the Lyceum named after Pushkin.

At one time, under Soviet rule, the educational institution was erected on the burial site of the Romanian soldiers who died in 1943. Romania, which supported Germany in World War II, tried to prevent the Soviet Union from advancing on the territory of present-day Moldova. Prior to that, in 1939, the Union occupied the territory of Moldova (which was part of Romania), as agreed on this with Hitler under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
