Besides, Moldova\u2019s small territory limits its room for manoeuvre, which is also an important factor that prevents it from building an effective defence system on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"a______ tm5\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"tm6\">A number of problems are also created by Transnistria, which is effectively occupied by Russia and whose territory could be used by the RF as a springboard for an armed invasion of Moldova. However, this threat is currently minimal, as Ukraine stands in the way, having been successfully waging a full-scale war against the Russian aggressor for almost four years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"a______ tm5\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"tm6\">It should be noted separately that another negative factor affecting Moldova\u2019s defense capability is the unstable socio-political situation in Gagauzia. There, the RF also plays a destructive role, constantly provoking interethnic conflicts and political confrontations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"a______ tm5\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"tm6\">But the most important thing about the unification of Moldova and Romania is that Moldovans and Romanians are actually one people, with the common language, mentality, and history. That is why the decision to unite Romanians and Moldovans into one state would be logical, rational, and politically sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"a______ tm5\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"tm6\">Such a development would also be in the interests of Romania and Moldova\u2019s closest neighbors, in particular the EU countries and Ukraine, as it would significantly strengthen the protection of their southern borders, which would generally hinder the implementation of Putin\u2019 Russia\u2019s aggressive plans and strengthen the European continental security system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"a______ tm5\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><span class=\"tm7\">Oleh Bereziuk<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"tm6\">Institute for Global Politics<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"a______ tm5\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oleh Bereziuk<\/p>\n<p>Amidst the RF\u2019s aggressive foreign policy and the complete collapse of the modern system of international security and law, such a step is rationally justified, politically prudent, and well-founded<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":32876,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[263,260,319],"tags":[273],"class_list":["post-32875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podi-faktit-komentari","category-publikacii","category-fejsbuk","tag-berezyuk","wp-image-borders"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["uk","en","ru","fr","ar"],"languages":{"uk":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"ru":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"fr":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"ar":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"gutentor_comment":0,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
