Can Moldova be Putin’s next target after Ukraine? “We need to take more care of our brothers across the Prut than we have ever had before!”
The Republic of Moldova is quite fragile, it is not a member of NATO or a member of the European Union, draws the attention of PSD deputy Ana Cătăuță, member of the European Affairs Committee of the Romanian Parliament. Invited to the Puterea Știrilor studio, Ana Cătăuță stated that “we have to take more care of our brothers from across the Prut than we have had so far”, given the fact that Vladimir Putin started a military invasion in Ukraine.
“The Republic of Moldova is quite fragile, it is not a member of NATO or a member of the European Union. There is a free trade agreement that the Republic of Moldova has with the European Union, but that does not give it rights and it does not have access to all the benefits that a member state has. There is the vulnerability related to Transnistria and the military presence of some Russian divisions in Transnistria, which makes the Republic of Moldova quite vulnerable. I am not a supporter of Mr. Klaus Iohannis, I have never been, but this data is perfectly true: we must take greater care of our brothers across the Prut than we have had so far.
At a time when the separate leaders of the two Ukrainian regions were in Moscow and there was talk of recognizing independence, the Transnistrian leaders were also in Moscow, demanding the same for Transnistria. Their plan is likely to be in two stages: first they invade Ukraine and conquer relatively quickly, and then they go to Moldova and Georgia. The plan was overturned by the incredible resistance of the Ukrainians and there is a rather high danger for the Republic of Moldova “, said the PSD deputy Ana Cătăuță, member of the European Affairs Committee of the Romanian Parliament.
CSAT has decided to support measures in support of the Republic of Moldova
We remind you that President Klaus Iohannis announced, after the CSAT meeting, that the members of the Council decided on a series of support measures that Romania will adopt in support of the Republic of Moldova.
“In the general context of the effects of the regional security situation, it is necessary to support the Republic of Moldova on various dimensions, which is facing an increased wave of refugees and opportunities and other difficulties. In this regard, in the CSAT meeting, we decided on a series of support measures “said the head of state, at the Cotroceni Palace.
In fact, President Klaus Iohannis, during consultations with G7, EU and NATO leaders, pleaded for the support of the Republic of Moldova in the context of the military aggression that the Russian Federation is carrying out in Ukraine.
He also stressed the need to support the efforts of the Republic of Moldova, both in terms of the management of Ukrainian refugees and in the event of a possible new energy crisis. At the same time, in the context, the President of Romania called for decisive and coordinated actions for the elimination of energy as a political tool of pressure and blackmail “, the Presidential Administration transmitted.
