Below a 7-point thread about The Republic of #Moldova.
What happens there, why is it important for #Europe and what can we do?
Why is Moldova important?
It is a country placed between #Ukraine and the European Union.
If #Russia would have an ally in #Moldova in addition to #Lukashenko in #Belarus, Ukraine would be much worse off and Europe would be worse off.
