US EditionMoldovan Parliament Votes to Leave CIS in Final Break with Russia-Led Bloc
The move advances Moldova’s break with the Russia-led bloc as officials cite European integration and Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
- Sixty Moldovan lawmakers approved withdrawing from the Commonwealth of Independent States on April 2, finalizing the second reading to sever ties with the Russia-led bloc.
- The Moldovan Foreign Ministry initiated the exit, arguing Russia violated key principles by waging war against Ukraine, threatening Georgia, and maintaining troops in Transnistria.
- Parliament described the move as a "natural and inevitable step towards European integration," reflecting strategy under President Maia Sandu and her Party to strengthen European ties.
- President Sandu must now approve the motion, and the Government must notify the CIS Executive Committee at least 12 months before the withdrawal takes effect.
- Moldova joins countries like Ukraine and Georgia in leaving the Commonwealth, an intergovernmental organization established to formalize ties among former Soviet states.
