 This time Putin is sending the Moldovans to battle against the Ukrainian army. Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Resyan commented on Russian President Vladimir Putin's decree simplifying the process of granting citizenship to citizens of Moldova, Belarus and Kazakhstan, according to TV8 channel. Resyan said he viewed Putin's decree as an attempt to recruit Kalen Fodder for his brutal and incomprehensible war launched by Russia in the neighboring country of Ukraine. I want to ask citizens not to resort to this, he added. According to Resyan, there are currently 150,000 to 200,000 Moldovans in Russia. Putin's decree states that citizens of Moldova, Belarus and Kazakhstan can now become citizens of the Russian Federation simply by obtaining a permit and passing a test on statehood fundamentals and Russian history rather than having to prove their permanent residence in the country. Alexander Kalinin, leader of the Marginal Pro-Russian Party of Regions and the Congress of Moldovan Diasporas in Russia, previously deprived of his citizenship, was called in for questioning at the beginning of December. Kalinin openly supports Russia's invasion of Ukraine. There are multiple photos and videos on his social media accounts of him wearing a military uniform marked with the letter Z, as used by the Russian army in its war in Ukraine, which is prohibited in Moldova. Moldovan President Maya Sandu has stripped Alexander Kalinin and the Congress of Moldovan Diasporas in Russia of his Moldovan citizenship.
