A Russian soldier who took part in the Russian military aggression against Ukraine was not allowed to enter Moldova.

The border police of Moldova reported on March 31 that they discovered a Russian serviceman who fought in the war against Ukraine in the flow of passengers at Chisinau International Airport. His final destination was the city of Tiraspol, in unrecognised Transnistria.

During the conversation with the law enforcement officers, he was confused in his testimony, trying to mislead the inspectors of the border police.

Therefore, the mentioned person was denied to enter Moldova. He was returned by plane to the country of departure.

Based on the published photos, the man fought in the Mariupol and Volnovakha regions on the side of Russian troops.

"We remind you that in order to eliminate security risks, in the conditions of the state of emergency in the Republic of Moldova, as well as the war started by Russia against Ukraine, security protocols are applied at all checkpoints across the state border, which provides for additional control when crossing the state border for travellers, especially for foreign citizens," the Border Police of Moldova reports.

In total, law enforcement officers have denied entry to the Republic of Moldova to 24 foreigners in the last day.

Earlier a member of the "Wagner" PMC tried to enter Moldova (Ukr).
