Is there a danger of an invasion of the Republic of Moldova? Answer given by the President of Parliament
“The data and analysis available to the Chisinau authorities do not indicate the danger of a military invasion of the Republic of Moldova. However, we must not be relaxed.” The statements were made by the President of the Parliament, Igor Grosu, during the show Black box from TV8.
“We are watching very closely what is happening in the whole of Ukraine, on the left bank of the Dniester, but data, and I say this not to induce relaxation, at the moment do not indicate actions that would lead to such a scenario,” he said.
“The situation in this area is different this time around. The big players have made such data open. All the data we have does not indicate a danger. Obviously we are watching with concern what is happening in Eastern Ukraine. The consequences will not only be petrified. parties involved, but for the whole of Europe, the whole area, “he said.
At the same time, when asked if the Chisinau parliament will come with sanctions if Russian deputies vote to recognize the separatist republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in eastern Ukraine, Igor Grosu said Moldovan authorities are advocating for Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
“We cannot assume what will happen in the State Duma of the Russian Federation, in the Senate, but we also read about the two initiatives: one addressed to some political decision makers, another to other political decision makers. We will make a decision at that time. I say let’s not anticipate things, let’s see what actions the West will resort to and when we will come with the official position “, said Grosu.
Russia has mobilized more than 100,000 troops on the border with Ukraine in recent weeks, prompting the United States and NATO allies to warn that an invasion could be imminent.
Moscow, in turn, has repeatedly denied any plans to invade Ukraine, but has called for security guarantees.
