Lloyd Austin will try to convince Ukraine and other European allies that President Joe Biden's administration is still committed to supporting Kyiv.
Moldova has summoned the Russian ambassador and expelled another Russian diplomat following the opening of polling stations for Russia's presidential election in the pro-Russian breakaway region of Transnistria. Moldova's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that it had summoned Russian Ambassador Oleg Vasnețov following the ballot in Transnistria last weekend, as Russia held its presidential election.
'The Moldovan side expressed its protest against the presidential elections held by Russia in the Transnistrian region, against Moldovan authorities' stance,' the ministry said on social media platform X . 'A diplomat was declared persona non grata,' it added, without giving further details. Transnistria is in eastern Moldova but has a fractious relationship with the rest of the country.
