Moldovan Sovereignty: Russian Incursions

Contribution

Moldova has made great steps in reducing—and in many respects eliminating—its dependence on Russia, outside of Transnistria. Militarily, Russian troops in Transnistria are in a sealed-off enclave, although Russian influence continues to be very important. My noble friend is absolutely right that ensuring that energy independence is extended across Moldova, including Transnistria, will be a crucial part of Moldovan security in the near future.
