Formerly part of Romania, Moldova was incorporated into the Soviet Union at the close of World War II. Moldova declared itself independent of the Soviet Union in May 1991. However, Russian forces have remained on Moldovan territory east of the Dniester River populated by ethnic Russians and Ukrainians in the self-proclaimed "Transnistria" republic. Moldova does not produce or possess nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons. |
