MOSCOW (Reuters) - A senior
Russian politician said on Sunday he had brought to Moscow a petition by
residents of Moldova's Russian-speaking, breakaway region of
Transdniestria backing union with Russia.
Dmitry Rogozin's comments will further rattle Moldova, an impoverished
former Soviet republic which, like neighboring Ukraine, is seeking
closer ties with Europe but faces stiff resistance from Moscow.
Transdniestria, which broke from Moldova in 1990, has long sought to
join Russia and the West fears the narrow sliver of land on the Dniestr
river will be Moscow's next target following its annexation of Ukraine's
Crimea region in March and its support for pro-Russian separatists in
eastern Ukraine.
