The Moldovan government will submit a draft decision on the suspension of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) for approval to parliament. This decision was approved at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, which was broadcast by the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers on Facebook, Day.Az reports with reference to TASS.
“Given the significant change in circumstances since the signing of the agreement, its operation will be suspended with the possibility of returning to its implementation,” State Secretary of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic Valery Mizha commented on this decision.
The CFE Treaty was signed in 1990 and adapted in 1997. NATO countries have not ratified the adapted version of this document, continuing to adhere to the 1990 provisions that contain conventional weapons standards based on the balance between the alliance and the now disbanded Warsaw Pact Organization. On May 29, 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the law on the denunciation of the CFE Treaty; it came into force on June 9. Moscow has repeatedly stated that the blame for the cessation of the agreement will fall on the United States and its allies, who chose the path of confrontation.
