The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends Russian citizens not to travel to Moldova, citing discrimination and harassment of them by the Moldovan authorities.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued an official note recommending Russian citizens to avoid traveling to the Republic of Moldova, citing repeated cases of discrimination and harassment. The authorities in Chișinău are accused of blocking the provision of consular assistance, and requests from the Russian diplomatic mission are ignored.

Additionally, Russian citizens arriving at Chișinău airport are subjected to humiliating checks and can be detained for hours in the transit area, with some individuals remaining for more than two days. The Russian Ministry claims that entry into the country is often denied under fabricated pretexts and that there are cases of arbitrary enforcement of laws, detention at the border, and prolonged security checks upon departure.
