Moldova wants change: why is it moving away from Russia? - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD

[TexasTowelie]

On this episode of Eastern Express, the focus is on Moldova’s shifting geopolitical direction.

The country is stepping away from Russia’s influence by moving to fully withdraw from the Russia-led Commonwealth of Independent States, a post-Soviet bloc that officials in Chișinău now say no longer aligns with Moldova’s interests.

At the same time, Moldova is signaling closer ties with the European Union, exploring reforms and partnerships that bring it closer to EU standards.

Meanwhile, a sensitive issue is back in public discussion: the possibility of future reunification with neighboring Romania.

The government insists any such decision would depend on clear public support, with opinions still divided.
