Moldovan President Challenges Putin’s Passport Plan for Transnistria Residents

“Since the war in Ukraine began, most people from the region obtained Moldovan citizenship because they felt safer having the Republic of Moldova’s citizenship rather than Russia’s,” said Sandu at a security conference in Tallinn.

Moldova received EU candidate status in 2022 and began negotiations to join the bloc in 2024. Sandu’s pro-European party, Action and Solidarity, maintains a strong majority after winning the 2025 parliamentary elections despite a hybrid interference campaign from Russia.

When questioned if Putin could obstruct Moldova’s EU membership due to the Transnistria issue, Sandu replied, “Only the EU can decide whether Moldova can become part of the EU or not. Russia has nothing to do with it.”

Looks like Moldova’s president is playing chess while Putin’s stuck on checkers – bless his heart, trying to intimidate with passports instead of, you know, actual strategy. 🇲🇩✌️ The only thing more outdated than those tactics is his haircut! 😂
