@ABaerbock

Hugely important for #Moldova to be a focus of today's G7 foreign ministers' meeting. Most grateful to @ABaerbock for the invitation.

After #Ukraine, we are the country affected the most by #Russia's aggression.

@JosepBorrellF

I told G7 foreign ministers & @JosepBorrellF that #Moldova & Moldovans want to anchor economic & political reforms - and the chance of peaceful development - in the process of our EU integration.

Giving Moldova EU candidate status in June is the only chance for us to make European integration irreversible and to pave a clear European perspective.

Some takeaways from the latest war in Nagorno-Karabakh:
1) The conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh is now officially re-frozen in a way that resembles closely the Madrid Principles, considered by everyone a rather fair compromise. BUT:

2) Azeri (and Turkish) military force, not diplomats delivered progress towards that ‘compromise’. the other key difference - no more talk of NK status. Its like Madrid but without NK status talk and without the diplomats in the room

3) NK will resemble much more Abkhazia and South Ossetia before 2008. No status talk. Russian peacekeepers. NK security is now co-guaranteed by Russia, but AM lost its own capacity to defend NK should it want/need to.
