The attached Radio Free Europe/Radio
Liberty report, "Ukraine and Moldova: The View From Kiev," provides
the best general synopsis of information pertaining to the
situation of ethnic Ukrainians in Moldova currently available to
the DIRB. The attached excerpt from The Commission on Security and
Cooperation in Europe staff delegation's report on a trip to
Moldova in summer 1992 provides commentary on the situation of
Ukrainians by individuals who were interviewed by members of the
delegation. In addition, please find attached two articles from
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty which provide brief references to
Ukrainians in Moldova and may therefore be of interest to you.
Most of the documentation on Moldova
currently available to the DIRB provides details of the on-going
conflict in the Dniester region of Moldova and is not specific to
the situation of Ukrainians. A New York Times report on the
conflict states that "supporters of Trans-Dniestrian separation
from Moldova, most of whom are Russians and Ukrainians, say they
suffered discrimination in Moldova..." (25 June 1992).
Keesing's notes that Ukrainians have been among those people
fleeing the region as a result of the conflict (1992, 38828).
Additional information on internal conflict and/or the general
human rights situation in Moldova is available upon request.
