Debate

Moldovan Sovereignty: Russian Incursions

Contribution

My Lords, I welcome what the Minister said about the Government’s attitude to supporting Moldova. Will he confirm that this is not recent pressure from the Russians and that, because of their stranglehold on a part of the country—Transnistria—the Russians have sought to block Moldova’s political progress for many years? Does he agree that we must adopt the highest possible profile in supporting Moldova? It is under real pressure and in a very vulnerable position. Anything that can be done to increase our public support, and that of our western allies, will be only for the better.
