Moldova mulls joining NATO
[Yahoo] "Now, there is a serious discussion ... about our capacity to defend ourselves, whether we can do it ourselves, or whether we should be part of a larger alliance," Sandu said.

"And if we come, at some point, to the conclusion as a nation that we need to change neutrality, this should happen through a democratic process."

Sandu stressed that Chisinau’s strengthening of its own defense, contrary to Russia's claims, is not a provocation against anyone, including against the unrecognized Transnistria — a region of Moldova which hosts a Russian military base.
Early in the war, Lukashenka (clumsily or shrewdly, hard to tell with this guy) revealed a battle plan map showing the Russians taking a left into Moldova after taking Odessa.
"Moldova is a peaceful country," she said.

"It’s not Moldova that started a war against its neighbors. Russian propaganda managed to convince part of our population that neutrality means you don’t have to invest in your defense sector, that neutrality means you do nothing and you have no capacity to defend yourself, which is wrong."
