The government only has the capacity to support 20,000 refugees, parliamentary members said, so Moldovan citizens have been hosting the other 80,000 refugees in their own homes. And while it used to be known as one of the poorest European countries, parliamentary members said, now Moldova is known as, “small country, big heart.” “Despite the crisis that we have right now in the region, we also have the economical crisis. In addition to the current economic crisis, Moldova has been absorbing a significant number of Ukrainian refugees - a number that stands at about 100,000 right now. but Transnistria is getting a lot of indirect threats.” Moldova’s economic state is so fragile that the International Monetary Fund is urging other nations to offer it grants and loans.

Monika Pronczuk: Moldova has three borders with Ukraine, and one of those borders is this thin sliver of land called Transnistria. Moldova is a former Soviet ...

Exactly, and that would be the same for the European Union: Moldova is a country where half of the population has EU citizenship. I feel the government is highlighting its vulnerability in order to get more aid and more support from the West. So this was a conversation, basically. Would NATO get more involved in Moldova? This would, break the main narrative, which is that the West is not getting involved in a non-NATO country. What I see for sure is the different position that the U.S. and NATO would be in if Russia attacked Moldova. This would mean that the war swelling into a wider conflict like. Putin is sending out his own messaging about what the next stage of this war is going to look like. This is the whole philosophy of Vladimir Putin: that this is our sphere of influence, our sphere of the world, and don’t you dare take it away from us. When the war broke out in Ukraine, the first couple of days there was complete panic in Moldova. Then the situation calmed down a little bit. The Ukraine war is very, very tangible in Moldova. It has turned the Moldovan economy upside down and disrupted supply chains. Transnistria runs along the edge of Moldova—and is strategically important because it’s pressed up next to Ukraine. It’s very close to Ukraine’s western edge, so observers think that if Russia’s war is going to creep further into Europe, it would start in Transnistria. In fact, some are beginning to fear it already has. It applied for membership with the EU and has been tightening economic, political, and social relations with the bloc. And it’s very dependent on Russia, from where it gets 100 percent of its gas from Russia. So if Russia wants to, it can just cut Moldova off from gas completely. And there’s the simple fact that everyday life in Moldova is reliant on “Mother Russia,” even though Moldova declared its independence years ago.

Members of Oireachtas committee travelled to countries at frontline of Ukraine refugee crisis.

Sinn Féin TD John Brady said the Government needed to prepare for “a long conflict” and further waves of refugees. Almost 900,000 have fled to Romania, an EU country.

It alleged Russia initially tried to ship the grains to Egypt, which refused to take the cargo. He also called for international debate about nuclear disarmament. Ukraine is one of the world’s top producers of corn and wheat, and is called Europe’s bread basket. Local residents who support the pro-Russian separatists came to lay flowers. “This is a clear sign of our solidarity,” the ministry said. “That is a recipe for disaster.” Still, many Bulgarians share strong pro-Russian sentiments that play in favor of populist leaders. Bulgaria, which was among Moscow’s closest allies during Soviet times, is now a NATO and EU member state. Organizers insisted that Bulgaria should act as a conciliator, rather than arming one side and thus fueling the conflict. That will signal a bipartisan, heightened commitment to helping thwart the bloody Russian invasion. “And so the point is, we are having a very serious effect,” she said. ___
