Shor called Moldova's withdrawal from the CIS another step towards the destruction of the country.

Moldova's withdrawal from the CIS will be another step towards the destruction of the country. This was announced on January 20 by the leader of the Moldovan opposition political bloc Pobeda, Ilan Shor.

"If we talk about this step, it is another step towards the destruction of the Republic of Moldova. Withdrawal from the CIS is primarily a continuation of the severance of economic ties," he said on the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

According to the politician, at the moment Moldova has become practically a "bankrupt country" and is on the verge of self-destruction. Shor also noted that his team would not participate in the elections of the head of the Gagauz Autonomy, due to the situation with its head Yevgenia Hutsul.

In addition, he added that the statements of the country's president, Maia Sandu, about supporting Moldova's accession to Romania could be regarded as a betrayal. Shor also stressed that this statement is a direct reason for the impeachment procedure.

The day before, the Moldovan authorities announced the beginning of the procedure for denouncing key agreements underlying the country's membership in the CIS. The head of the country's Foreign Ministry, Mihai Popsoi, explained that participation in the Commonwealth, according to the government, is incompatible with Moldova's status as a candidate for membership in the European Union.

In turn, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed on January 20 that the CIS remains an important and useful platform for cooperation, and Chisinau's withdrawal from the organization is only regrettable.
