The Kremlin has reintroduced accusations of “neo-colonialism” and the failure to acknowledge “new geopolitical realities”.

– 26 Canadian citizens have been added to the blacklist, including the wife of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. This step comes in the context of a new diplomatic counter-attack that led in recent days to the expulsion of dozens of Italian, Spanish and French diplomats in response to the expulsion of Ross employees from Rome, Madrid and Paris. As for American diplomats, the commitment to leave the country began two months ago.

On the pro-Kiev front, on the other hand, the United Kingdom became increasingly convinced, having almost spontaneously raised the level of opposition with the Russians by proposing to the Allies to provide Moldova with modern weapons as well. In this scenario, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss announced that her government had begun discussing with international allies the sending of modern weapons to Chisinau, so that it could protect itself from Russia “equipped to NATO standards”. If agreed, the Allies would replace Soviet-era equipment currently available to Moldova and train its soldiers to use it.
