Vladimir Putin a promulgat o lege care simplifică obținerea cetățeniei ruse pentru locuitorii din Transnistria, regiune separatistă a Republicii Moldova

Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has signed a decree easing the process of obtaining Russian citizenship for residents of the unrecognised Transnistria.
