Maia Sandu accuses the Kremlin of wanting to draw the inhabitants of Transnistria into the war in Ukraine, after the decree signed by Vladimir Putin

The President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, reacted harshly after Russian leader Vladimir Putin signed a decree simplifying granting Russian citizenship to residents of the Transnistrian region. The head of state said the measure could be aimed at recruiting people for Russia's war against Ukraine.

"They probably need more people to send to the war in Ukraine," Maia Sandu said on Saturday at a security conference in Tallinn ...

According to Maia Sandu, the Kremlin's decision also represents a method of pressure on the Republic of Moldova in the context of Chisinau's efforts to reintegration of the Transnistrian region, controlled by pro-Russian separatist authorities and where Russian military personnel have been stationed since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
