Tensions between Moldova and Russia ratcheted up on Monday after Moldova's decision to expel three Russian diplomats on Monday.

The Moldovan Foreign Ministry declared the three "persona non grata" and ordered them to leave, saying there was "clear evidence'' of actions that violated their diplomatic responsibilities.

Russia's Foreign Ministry pledged to take retaliatory measures, though it has not specified what those might be.

[...]

The immediate trigger for Moldova's expulsion of Russian diplomats was the case of Alexander Nesterovschii, a member of parliament aligned with pro-Russian interests.

Nesterovschii was sentenced in absentia to 12 years in prison after being convicted of illegally funding a political party linked to Ilan Shor — a fugitive businessman and former lawmaker.

Shor, who fled Moldova after being implicated in one of the country's largest bank fraud scandals, has since aligned himself with Kremlin-friendly causes.

[...]

President Maia Sandu condemned what she described as direct interference in Moldova's judicial system.

"Interference by the Russian Federation with the judicial system of the Republic of Moldova is unacceptable,'' she said in a radio interview. "Imagine if Moldova interfered with justice in Russia.''

Moldova's pro-European government has frequently accused Russia of attempts to destabilize the country as it seeks closer ties with the European Union. Moldova aims to join the EU by 2030 and was granted candidate status in 2022.

Of course, only if you have the time. This could be a great way for you to practice while supporting the Fediverse at the same time. :)

Cool. Would you like to help us design community icons and covers? :)

Try to make the text bold or even heavy. I think this'd make the text a lot more readable when small.

Although, I have designed some boycott logos that I can post here if wanted.

Sure! Would love to see them.

Die ÖVP als Bauern Partei will halt die Profite ihres Klientels schützen. Da spielt Nachhaltigkeit, Tierschutz, etc. keine große Rolle.

it’s making life more inconvenient

Just because something makes your life more convenient, doesn't mean it's better or healthier for you. Otherwise McDonald's would be the healthiest in the world.

My own experience is this: sure, it's inconvenient to change things and you have to change your mind about a lot of stuff. But as soon as you get a grip on it, life starts to improve rapidly. Don't forget that most American hyper-capitalist corporations don't want to make your life better. They want to optimize profits. That means they'll do everything to achieve that goal, even if it's bad for you. And most companies are like that, unfortunately. So consuming less should be seen as something great not a punishment.

it stresses me out sometimes due to why this boycott happening in the first place.

Not the boycott but the news is the problem. Take a step back. Consume less news. It's not good for our psychological health to consume that shit all the time. You can still support the movement without constantly consuming news. Go outside, connect with people and organize.

Also since I live rurally atm it’s harder as there’s fewer options (E.G. Boots being the only chemist in the town centre, but is US owned), unless I take a 25 minute train ride into the nearest city.

Maybe you can get some of the stuff online?

What exactly does make it more inconvenient and stressful?

[–] tfm 2 points 2 days ago

I really hope this sets a precedence. And let's not just target the right, but all corrupt politicians.

"Konservative" halt

That's also cool :)

Luckily. Those are ridiculous death machines.
