Abstract
This study is devoted to the analysis of the current state of Russian-Moldavian relations. The key events of recent years that influenced bilateral relations are examined: the coming to power in Moldova of a pro-Western establishment led by Maia Sandu, the adoption of a law on changing the state language, the gas crisis and the dispute over the debt for Russian gas supplies. It is noted that the new Moldovan leadership is pursuing an openly anti-Russian course aimed at rapprochement with the EU and Romania. This leads to cutting back on economic and humanitarian cooperation between countries. Tensions in the energy sector are rising. The author comes to the conclusion that Kishinev’s actions cause serious damage to bilateral relations. Restoring a constructive dialogue requires adequate steps on the part of the Moldovan leadership, which they are not yet ready for.
