Former Moldovan President Igor DodonCHISINAU, May 21Moldova does not need NATO military «help» , since it will allow the Moldovan people to be used in the scenarios of big players, former President of the Republic Igor Dodon believes. The day before, British Foreign Minister Liz Truss said in an interview with Telegraph that the UK and other NATO countries are discussing the possibility of supplying weapons to Moldova.
NATO countries are discussing the possibility of supplying weapons to Moldova, the Foreign Ministry said «We wish all war hawks from the West and personally British Foreign Minister Liz Truss that they themselves never need their own deadly weapons. Military «aid» from NATO may turn out to be the notorious disservice that will only make things worse for us, bring grief to our country and turn our soldiers and our people into cannon fodder in the cynical scenarios of big world players,» Dodon wrote on Telegram. He recalled that Moldova is a neutral state, and this is its main geopolitical advantage over the face of any military risks. Dodon expressed hope that Western politicians would be prudent and not provoke conflicts on Moldovan soil. the republic has a neutral status, but since 1994 the country has been cooperating with NATO within the framework of an individual partnership plan. As polls conducted earlier in the country show, the majority of the population of Moldova opposes joining NATO. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the end of 2020 opposed the presence of Russian peacekeepers in the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, since by doing so Russia allegedly violates the territorial integrity of Moldova. Moscow denied the accusations of NATO, saying that the Russian military contingent was in Transnistria legally. Its main tasks are a peacekeeping mission and the protection of ammunition depots.
