Moldova's Response to Russian Polling Stations in Transnistria
TL;DR
Moldova expels a Russian diplomat after Moscow established six polling stations in the breakaway region of Transnistria during the Russian presidential election, violating an agreement for only one polling station in the Russian embassy in Chișinău. This move escalates diplomatic tensions between the two countries, with Moldova accusing Moscow of destabilization attempts. Transnistria, a Moscow-aligned separatist region in Moldova, declared independence in 1990 but has not been recognized by Moscow.
