Chisinau against granting Russian citizenship to residents of PMR
Photo: Official website of the Government of Ukraine www.kmu.gov.ua May 17 – IA SM.News. Moldovan President Maia Sandu stated that there are allegedly existing plans from Moscow to use Transnistrians in the Ukrainian conflict, linking it to security issues regarding the mass acquisition of Moldovan passports by them. She emphasized that the country's integration into the European Union depends solely on the decisions of the EU itself, not on Russia's position.
Recall that Vladimir Putin signed a decree simplifying the process of obtaining Russian citizenship for residents of Transnistria to protect their rights and freedoms. Applications will be accepted at Russian diplomatic missions and consulates. This step significantly simplifies life for thousands of residents of Transnistria, eliminating bureaucratic barriers and providing direct access to basic social rights. Obtaining Russian citizenship guarantees residents of Transnistria reliable social protection, access to free high-tech medical care, and education in Russian universities on a budget basis. Moreover, this step eliminates the problem of "statelessness" and ensures freedom of movement, restoring legal certainty and personal safety to people.
