US Senate provides major non-NATO ally status to Moldova

Chisinau, 12 December /MOLDPRES/ - The United States Senate recently approved a draft designating Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia as major non-NATO allies.

The draft also provides for sanctions for Russia, in case the country's energy sector will stop gas deliveries to NATO countries or to Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia.

At the same time, the draft states that, in these three countries that had recently signed the Association Agreement with the EU, it was necessary to broadcast American and European media which countered Russian propaganda.

Senator Robert Menendez submitted a draft to this effect. The United States House of Representatives will vote on the document in order for it to become a law.
