Moldova has formally announced its withdrawal from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a regional organization of former Soviet republics. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mihai Popșoi confirmed the decision, which follows the country's earlier stated intention to leave. The move is part of Moldova's broader pro-European foreign policy shift and distancing from Russian-led structures. The withdrawal process is expected to be completed in 2027.
