NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana told Digi24.ro interviews that Moldova is not a military target for Russia, but that the country is under pressure due to the refugee crisis and high energy prices.
“Moldova is not a military target for Russia, we have no clues. We are looking at what is happening in Transnistria, but today we have no clues. This does not mean that they are not under huge pressure, refugees, high energy prices, poisoning and manipulation “, said Geoana.
“Putin made a massive strategic calculation mistake, but in the end he managed to do something that no one would have anticipated: to forge a true national consciousness in Ukraine. The same goes for Georgia, look at the Republic of Moldova. The leadership of the Republic of Moldova needs our support, because these countries, neutral countries, who wanted to find a balance, but today, the effect of this action of President Putin made the opposite, all countries will run even harder to the West. ” , said Geoana.
“This conflict will continue for at least a few more weeks. We see no signs of a slowdown in the Russian Federation. Now they are slowed down by moral and logistical issues, but we still see reinforcements coming from Abkhazia, Ossetia, the Far East, using hypersonic weapons, thermobaric weapons, fragmented weapons that are banned, ”he added.
