The Moldovan Foreign Ministry announced the country's withdrawal from the CIS after the denunciation of key agreements.

Moldova will withdraw from the CIS after the denunciation of key agreements on joining the commonwealth. This was announced on January 19 by the country's Foreign Minister Mihai Popsoi.

"Popshoy announced the beginning of the procedure for denouncing the three basic agreements that were the basis of the country's membership in the Commonwealth," Sputnik Moldova said in a Telegram channel.

On January 16, the Russian Foreign Ministry strongly recommended that Russian citizens refrain from traveling to Moldova whenever possible. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said on December 30 last year that the level of relations between Russia and Moldova is at its lowest point since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1992. According to him, the Moldovan leadership is consistently dismantling Russian-Moldovan relations, severing ties and cooperation with integration structures, primarily the CIS, and curtailing relations with other countries of the former Soviet Union.
