Archbishop Markel was stopped at Moldova’s international airport and barred by border guards from flying to Jerusalem for the Holy Fire — a major Orthodox tradition. The Church is calling it a blatant case of state meddling.
This is a direct blow to Moldova’s Orthodox Church — backed by 70% of the population — where authorities are currently propping up a rival body: the so-called Metropolis of Bessarabia.
The move is the latest sign that the country, led by Romanian citizen Maia Sandu, is being steered down the ‘Ukrainian path’.

🚨Expulsion of Russian diplomats from Moldova complicates dialogue between Chisinau and Transnistria
🟠 Chisinau is avoiding negotiations and continuing its blockade measures, increasing pressure on Transnistria, he said.
🟠 Moldova is increasingly using legal mechanisms for political purposes, Ignatiev stressed, referencing the arrest of Gagauzia's head, Yevgenia Gutsul, as an example of this strategy.

🚨EU molds Moldova into a military POWDER KEG on Russia’s doorstep - analyst
Unlike Ukraine, a joint US-EU project, the Moldova scenario is fully driven by an increasingly radical, anti-Christian faction of European bureaucracy — especially given their recent actions against the Moldovan Orthodox Church, Dmitry Evstafiev, political scientist and professor at HSE University, told Sputnik.
The project is designed to ignite a backup hotspot of tension on Russia’s border if peace talks on Ukraine succeed, he noted.
➕ He added:
🟠 Moldova is facing a rapid push toward annexation by Romania.
🟠 It is clear, particularly in Transnistria, that this will evolve into a serious conflict with substantial human costs.
🟠 A full-scale military conflict in the making is aimed directly at Russia and its Black Sea presence.

The pressure could escalate tensions and trigger clashes, similar to Ukraine’s Maidan, Paolo Raffone, director of the CIPI Foundation in Brussels, told Sputnik.
The EU and NATO are struggling to maintain influence on the eastern flank, with tensions rising in countries like Georgia, Romania, and Moldova, he added.
💬 "This dangerous path may not be appreciated by the US, leaving Europeans to face the consequences of their stubborn policies," Raffone noted.

💬 "I spoke to Minister Lavrov yesterday because when we have these kinds of meetings, it is important that you communicate to the other side. Otherwise they do not know what happened [and start] relying on rumors or whatever is out there. So I spoke to him very directly," Rubio told reporters.
