Summary/Abstract: Signing of the Association Agreement (AA) with the European Union (EU) and establishment of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) with EU in 2014 generated significant dissatisfactions from the Russian Federation’s part. Sanctions were applied almost immediately by setting import duties and banning the import of some products originating from Moldova. Thus, the trade relations between Moldova and Russia are still expected to be unclear, especially with regards to the Moldovan exports. The study analyses the exposure of Moldovan economy and economic sectors to the exports to Russian Federation and its evolution in the last decade, when the first important sanctions were imposed against Moldovan products.
