Moldova Wants to Turn its Back on Russia

NTV Podcast by Kevin Schulte with Hannes Meissner

In a new NTV podcast, Kevin Schulte analyzes the worsening political crisis and security situation in the Republic of Moldova. The Western-oriented government is facing hybrid influence and destabilization attempts by Moscow. A military invasion is currently unlikely, as Russian troops are tied up in Ukraine. However, the country is dependent on Moscow in many respects and has not built up any resilience in recent decades, making it highly vulnerable to hybrid warfare and possible attempts to overthrow the pro-Western government. In the podcast, Hannes Meissner provides an in-depth analysis of the constellation (in German).
