RE: FRR will struggle in Moldova20 Feb 2023 11:14
We must pray that Moldova doesn't give in to the russian oil/gas blackmail...
"It's very clear that Russia is an aggressor state," Rosian Vasiloi, head of Moldova's border police, told the BBC. He said the threat had existed since 24 February, when the Ukraine war began, but he emphasised that it was "different now; it's a mix of threats from inside and outside Moldova".
As long as Ukraine continues to fight, and wins the war, he believes the risks for Moldova are lower.
"If Ukraine falls, Moldova is next," he said. "But I'm not afraid."
Since the war began, President Sandu's government has tried to diversify the country's energy sources, and wean it off dependence on Russian gas, but attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure and the cost of importing electricity from Romania hasn't made that easy."
