Moldova’s Gagauzia region governor sanctioned by US

The United States imposed sanctions on the pro-Russia governor of Moldova’s Gagauzia region on Wednesday, a move supported by the pro-Western government in Chisinau. As Moldova’s relations have deteriorated with the Kremlin during Moscow’s full-scale invasion of neighbouring Ukraine, Gutul has called for closer ties and met high-level Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin in March. Moldova’s pro-Western government has staunchly condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, at one point accused Moscow of plotting its overthrow and expelled Russian diplomats. Is Moldova digging its own gracve ?
