Moldova’s Parliament Votes to Withdraw from CIS
The Moldovan Parliament has approved the termination of its founding agreement with the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), citing Russia’s disregard for the territorial integrity of member states.
The decision, supported by a majority of lawmakers, references Russia’s military actions in Ukraine and the presence of Russian troops in the breakaway region of Transnistria. Moldova, which has a pro-European government, has been a candidate for European Union membership since 2022. This development was reported on April 2, 2026.
