Russia accuses Moldova of hosting Ukrainian aircraft

Russian Ambassador to Moldova Oleg Ozerov accused Ukrainian forces of using the Marculesti airfield in Moldova for their military aircraft. He noted that the airport has been modernized and that Ukrainian military transport planes land there regularly, adding 'they are probably not carrying potatoes and cottage cheese.' Ozerov questioned Moldova's compliance with its constitutional status as a neutral state. The statement raises tensions between Russia and Moldova over the ongoing war in Ukraine.
