Russia rejects UN-backed call to withdraw troops from Moldova

Russia on Saturday rejected an international call backed by the United Nations for it to withdraw troops from the Transdniestr breakaway region of Moldova.

The Russian foreign ministry said in a statement that its troops stationed in ex-Moldova's Transdniestr region despite Chisinau's calls for them to withdraw "remain a guarantor of peace and stability."
