“No official written notifications of Moldova’s intention (to leave the CIS. -

) have been received either by the Russian side or, as far as I know, by the CIS executive committee,” he said.

At the same time, Pankin added that secession from the Commonwealth is the sovereign right of the state and, if such a decision is made in Chisinau, it will cause regret, but “it is unlikely to significantly affect the work of the CIS.”

On January 24, it was reported that the Moldovan government had terminated eight agreements with the CIS in the fields of energy and defense.

The country's opposition Social Party condemned this step.
