Russia has simplified procedures for workers arriving from Moldova<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>President Vladimir Putin has eased entry and employment rules for Moldovan citizens coming to Russia for work. The decision comes despite strained relations between Moscow and Moldova\u2019s pro-EU, pro-Ukrainian government.<\/p>\n

Moldova, a former Soviet republic, borders Romania and Ukraine. About 15% of its population speaks Russian fluently.<\/p>\n

Under a decree signed on Friday, Moldovan nationals arriving in Russia from October 1 will be granted more time to complete registration procedures and will be allowed to work without a permit.<\/p>\n

Those entering between October 1, 2025, and January 1, 2026, will not be required to declare their purpose of travel and will be permitted to work without a special permit for about a year. They will also be shielded from deportation, provided that they are not charged with criminal offenses in Russia, including illegal border crossing.<\/p>\n

Vadim Fotescu, a legislator from Moldova\u2019s opposition, told Izvestia last month that roughly 500,000 of its citizens currently reside in Russia.<\/p>\n

Moldovan President Maia Sandu has accused Moscow of interfering in her country\u2019s internal affairs and attempting to\u00a0topple her government. The Kremlin has denied the allegation.<\/p>\n

Opposition figures, including former President Igor Dodon, have in turn accused Sandu of stifling dissent and abandoning the country\u2019s traditionally close ties with Russia.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Moscow condemned the prosecution of Evghenia Gutul, the governor of Moldova\u2019s largely Russian-speaking autonomous region of Gagauzia, who opposes Sandu\u2019s pro-EU agenda. Gutul was detained in March and charged with campaign finance violations.<\/p>\n

In June, Russia arrested two Moldovan nationals on suspicion of espionage, prompting Chisinau to issue a travel warning and accuse Moscow of \u201charassing\u201d<\/em> its citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll law-abiding Moldovan citizens are always welcome here. And they know it,\u201d<\/em> Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
