Russian President Vladimir Putin delivers his annual address to the Federal Assembly in Moscow, Russia, on Feb 21, 2023.CHISINAU - President Vladimir Putin revoked on Tuesday a 2012 decree that in part underpinned Moldova's sovereignty in resolving the future of the Transdniestria region - a Moscow-backed separatist region which borders Ukraine and where Russia keeps troops.
The order revoking the 2012 document was published on the Kremlin's website and states that the decision was taken to "ensure the national interests of Russia in connection with the profound changes taking place in international relations".Alexandru Flenchea, Moldovan chairman of the joint control commission in the security zone around Transdniestria, said the cancellation did not mean that Putin was abandoning the notion of Moldovan sovereignty.
The Kremlin has said that Russia's relations with Moldova, which last week approved a new pro-Western prime minister that vowed to pursue a drive to join the EU, were very tense. It accused Moldova of pursuing an anti-Russian agenda.Wedged between Romania and Ukraine, Moldova, one of Europe's poorest nations, has been led since 2020 by President Maia Sandu with strong US and European Union backing. US President Joe Biden met her in Poland on Tuesday affirming his support.
