Moldovian President Maia Sandu warned that Russia would continue its aggression in other countries, including the Republic of Moldova, if not stopped in Ukraine.
“If Ukraine falls, believe me, Russia won’t stop at Moldova,” Maia Sandu stated. She noted that international support for Ukraine must become faster and more consistent: “We need to help faster, more extensively. Russia has enormous resources, enormous capabilities. Ukraine receives less and too late. We must reverse this situation. This is our mission.”
President Sandu declared that Ukraine is not just a country under attack, but “a cornerstone of European security,” and the stakes of the war unleashed by the Russian Federation transcend this country’s borders: “It’s not just about Ukraine, about its future; it’s about the future of the whole of Europe, of the entire world.”
President Sandu also spoke about the hybrid attack methods used by Russia: “Lies, manipulation, blackmail, interference in our political systems, distortion of democracy and truth.” Maia Sandu added that the Republic of Moldova is similarly targeted: “Moldova knows what hybrid warfare means, what it truly looks like: energy blackmail, fake protests, disinformation, and organized crime disguised as political parties.”
