Part 6/9:
Moldova's struggle reflects broader geopolitical currents influencing the region. The country serves as a last bastion for Russian influence in Eastern Europe, particularly after setbacks in Ukraine. Should Moldova fall definitively under Moscow's sphere, Ukraine could find itself encircled on numerous fronts, severely compromising its ability to resist further aggression.
The implications extend further, as Moldova’s close proximity to NATO member Romania positions it as a strategic point for military monitoring and defense against Russian moves in Eastern Europe.
