Russian Ambassador to Moldova calls new customs rules an attempt to disrupt Transdniester's economy


Russian Ambassador to Moldova Nikolai Ryabov said on March 20 that new customs rules would destabilize the region. "Ukraine has joined Moldovan attempts to annex Transdniester to its economic space," Ryabov said, and called the new customs rules an attempt to disrupt Transdniester's economy and to spark protests against pro-Moscow leader Igor Smirnov.

Ukraine and Moldova implemented the new rules on March 3, requiring that all exports from the breakaway Transdniester region clear Moldovan customs. Transdniestrian officials have called the move an economic blockade.
