Moscow regards Moldova's decision to institute "Soviet Occupation Day" as an element of "a preplanned political campaign spearheaded against Russian-Moldovan partnership," the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Friday.
Moldova's acting president Mihai Ghimpu on Thursday promulgated a decree establishing June 28 as Soviet Occupation Day in the country and providing that "a monument to victims of Soviet occupation and the totalitarian communist regime be erected in front of the government building."
