(ANSA-AFP) - CHISINAU, SEP 13 - Moldova on Wednesday expelled
the country chief of Russia's Sputnik news agency, accusing the
outlet of spreading "propaganda and disinformation," as tensions
between the two nations run high. A 56-year-old Russian citizen
"was removed under escort" from Moldova after being "declared an
undesirable person.
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year, tensions between
the two countries have increased. The current pro-EU government
of the former Soviet republic has firmly condemned the invasion
and alleged a Russian plot to try and overthrow it. (ANSA-AFP).
