Russia’s relations with Moldova are very tense

The Kremlin said on Monday that Russia’s relations with Moldova were very tense and it accused Moldovan leaders of pursuing an anti-Russian agenda, one week after Chisinau said it had foiled a Russian coup attempt.
Moldova’s parliament last week approved a new pro-Western government after the previous administration resigned en masse following months of political and economic scandals.
The new government, led by Prime Minister Dorin Recean, has vowed to pursue a pro-European path and also called for the demilitarisation of the Transdniestria region – a Moscow-backed separatist region which borders Ukraine.
