Russia’s ambassador to Bucharest responded defiantly to being summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after Russia carried out another act of sabotage on Romanian soil with the attack at Carfil. Vladimir Lipaev denied that the aggressor state had carried out the sabotage, dismissing the claim as a “baseless accusation” and “slanderous insinuations.” In the same Facebook post, Putin’s representative also referred to Russian attacks on merchant ships in the Black Sea, once again blaming Ukraine for the attacks and suggesting that the vessels targeted had been carrying weapons.
In keeping with the Kremlin’s usual propaganda, Lipaev called Ukraine a “neo-Nazi regime” and said it had a “well-known terrorist character.” So far, it is Russia that has been terrorizing another country’s population through attacks on civilian infrastructure and other non-military targets.
Likewise, the Kremlin dictatorship’s accusation of “neo-Nazism” against Ukraine’s democratically elected government is part of the Putin regime’s long-standing propaganda effort to lend credence to the absurd and patently false notion that Ukraine is ruled by Nazis.
“On October 27, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Lipaev, was invited to the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a meeting, during which the Romanian side baselessly accused Russia of orchestrating the fire that broke out on September 14 at a business in Brașov. Of course, no evidence of any kind was presented.
The Russian diplomat categorically rejected the slanderous insinuations on this matter, stressing that the Russian Federation had never planned, coordinated or carried out acts of sabotage in Romania or any other foreign country. He urged the Romanian side not to attribute to Russia the style and methods of Romania’s ally, the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv, whose terrorist nature is well known.”
