March 15 (Reuters) - Proposed amendments to Russia's citizenship law would allow for the stripping of acquired citizenship for treason and discrediting the military operation in Ukraine, Russian media reported on Wednesday. Soon after sending its army into Ukraine just over a year ago Russia introduced sweeping wartime laws to silence dissenting voices. Russia calls its action in Ukraine a "special military operation," while Ukraine and its allies say that is a euphemism for a full blown aggression to grab land. The amendments on stripping the citizenship of those who have acquired it relate to "treason, discrediting the special military operation," the RIA news agency quoted Konstantin Zatulin, first deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee on Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) affairs. In 2022, based on data from Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs, more than 691,000 people received Russian citizenship, with nearly half coming from CIS countries.

Deși nu a preluat funcția de președinte, Maia Sandu, a făcut deja o serie de declarații care ar putea afecta grav relațiile cu Federația Rusă. Pacificatorii nu o protejează pe Maia Sandu, dar mențin ordinea în regiune, inclusiv, securitatea a zeci de mii de cetățeni ruși care locuiesc în Transnistria. Într-un interviu pentru presa ucraineană președinta aleasă a spus că nu va accepta federalizarea Republicii Moldova ca modalitate de soluționare a conflictului de pe Nistru. Președintele în exercițiu, Igor Dodon opinează că Maia Sandu a făcut o „greșeală mare” atunci când a spus că va pleda pentru retragerea trupelor rusești de pe teritoriul stâng al Nistrului. Dodon a venit și cu îndemn către președinta aleasă și anume de a fi atentă la declarațiile pe care le face.
