Russia has proposed conducting a joint investigation with Moldova into recent drone incidents along its border, Russia's ambassador to Chisinau, Oleg Ozerov, said, according to TASS.
Ozerov was cited as saying that Moldova blames Russia for all of its troubles, following what he described as the lead of the European Union, without providing supporting evidence. TASS's report did not detail how or whether Moldovan officials responded to the proposal for a joint inquiry.
The proposal follows recent reports of drones and missiles entering Moldovan airspace, incidents that prompted Moldova's Foreign Ministry to summon Ozerov for a formal protest.
Moldova, which borders Ukraine, has reported repeated airspace violations that it has linked to the war in the neighboring country, while Russian officials have in various instances disputed Moldovan characterizations of the incidents.
No further detail on the scope or timing of any proposed joint investigation was included in the TASS report as cited.
