YALTA, Ukraine — Moldovan Prime Minister Vlad Filat urged his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to expedite talks between the two countries’ governments on a loan.
“For Moldova, this aid would be very important, taking into account the political situation and crisis” in Moldova, Filat said in Yalta on Friday. Russia may lend Moldova up to $150 million, Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin said during a visit on Oct. 9.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
