Kremlin accuses Moldova of preventing hundreds of thousands of Moldovans in Russia from voting

The Kremlin on Monday accused the authorities in Moldova of preventing hundreds of thousands of Moldovans living in Russia from voting in an election on Sunday by providing only two polling stations for the large Diaspora.

Moldova‘s pro-European Union ruling party won a resounding victory over its Russian-leaning rival in the parliamentary election, results showed.

Asked whether Moscow recognised the results, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that some political forces in Moldova had spoken of violations.
