Russian propaganda is stirring fears about the potential unification of Romania and Moldova, claiming it could lead to dire geopolitical consequences. Dmitri Soin, a former Transnistrian security official, warns that such a union could threaten Moldova's independence. He cites infrastructure projects and energy cooperation between Romania and Moldova as signs of impending unification. Soin argues that the current Moldovan leadership is fostering a hostile stance towards Russia and suggests that a union with Romania could accelerate Moldova's European integration. He also highlights Transnistria and Gagauzia as significant obstacles to this potential union, fearing a shift in regional military balance if Moldova joins NATO through Romania.
