This makes sense. Moldova, like the Ukraine, has a significant portion of the population that identifies as Russian. Romania does not.



Yes it does, but it looks to me like Krebs read "Romanian" in the list of keyboard layouts, skimmed over the "(Moldova)" part and assumed that that means Romania and Russia are BFFs.
