Moldova mulls joining NATO

Amid the ongoing large-scale conventional war in Ukraine, the government of Moldova is discussing the possibility of abandoning its neutral status and applying to join NATO, Moldovan President Maia Sandu said in an interview with Politico on January 20.

“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.”
