Moldova Demands Russian Army to Go

Acting Moldovan President Mihai Ghimpu demanded that Russian peacekeepers immediately leave Transnistria, a breakaway Moldovan province. This seems to be in conflict with the 2009 Russian-Moldovan-Transnistrian declaration signed by then Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin, calling for “transformation” of the Russian peace-keeping operation only after a settlement of the Moldovan-Transnistrian dispute. Transnistrian authorities, in turn, asked Russia to increase the strength of the Russian forces there from 1,800 to 2,400.
