Romanian MFA criticises far-right senator's attendance at St. Petersburg forum

Romanian far-right senator Diana Șoșoacă has drawn criticism from her country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) following her participation in a forum in St. Petersburg, Russia. During the event, Șoșoacă reportedly praised Russian President Vladimir Putin. The forum was attended by various Russian officials and business figures who are currently subject to European Union sanctions. The Romanian MFA condemned her presence, stating that such appearances by European citizens validate individuals under sanctions and discredit those who attend. This incident highlights ongoing tensions regarding interactions between EU politicians and sanctioned Russian entities.
