Moldova's withdrawal from the CIS will significantly complicate the lives of Moldovans who have lived in Russia for a long time.

Professor and sociologist Dmitry Soin, a former major in the PMR state security service, stated this in an interview with the Zvezda TV channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“By and large, what Sandu’s team is doing now, This isn't just a direct geopolitical challenge, steps toward NATO, and the creation of Moldova as the second anti-Russia state after Ukraine. It's also a very serious set-up for Moldovan citizens., who are located here. They are here as citizens of a country that is part of the CIS. If Moldova leaves the CIS, it will lose, among other things, a number of preferences. For example, a visa regime may be introduced."Moldovan citizens could lose the right to stay in Russia for an extended period. This is what Sandu is leading to," Soin said.

This week, Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihai Popoșoi stated that In February, the Moldovan parliament denounced the agreements that underpinned the countries' participation in the CIS.This concerns the CIS Charter and the Agreement on the Establishment of the CIS. Moldova has already denounced 71 of the 283 CIS agreements, and another 60 are being prepared for denunciation.

According to Chisinau, There are more than 300 thousand Moldovan migrant workers in Russia. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, taking into account students and those who received second citizenship, estimated the number of Moldovans at 500 thousand.
