Kishinev
government_official
Kishinev is the capital city of Moldova, where political tensions with Russia have intensified in recent years. The closure of the Russian Center for Science and Culture (Rusky Dom) in July 2026 followed Moldova's decision not to renew a bilateral agreement from 1998 on cultural centers, a move described by Moscow as politically motivated. Diplomatic incidents, including the detention of Russian diplomatic couriers at the city’s airport and restrictions on Russian citizens, have further strained relations.
