CHISINAU – Moldovan President Igor Dodon said he has agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin on shipping Moldovan goods to Russia via Ukraine, which should considerably increase bilateral trade.

“An arrangement with Vladimir Putin –at the request of the president of Moldova – as of today all Moldovan goods can be exported to the Russian market via Ukraine. As well as Russia’s lifting of customs duties on Moldovan goods, these decisions will help considerably increase trade between our countries within a short period of time,” Dodon wrote on his Facebook page on Jan. 30 evening, commenting on the results of his meeting with the Russian president.
