Soviet Demand Formal Return of Bessarabia
London May 2 The Russian Soviet government issued an ultimatum to Romania demanding the evacuation of Bessarabia. A Moscow wireless note set a 48 hour deadline for Romania to reply. Bessarabia, a former Russian province inhabited mainly by Romanians, was occupied by Romanian troops after Germany’s retreat. Bolshevik forces reached the Dniester river and a April 14 statement claimed Romanian defeat, a claim Romania denied. The move may relate to pressure from the Hungarian communist government’s collapse.
