Dodon believes Romania wants to absorb Moldova

Former Moldovan President Igor Dodon has revealed a plan in the works where the former Soviet republic would be swallowed up by Romania and warned of the danger of Moldova being dragged into a "bloody regional war."

"The military and political annexation of our country to Romania is in the works, with the renunciation of neutrality. <...> In order to lay the groundwork for this technical unification, Moldova had to demonstrate its inability to guarantee economic, energy and territorial security on its own. Citizens had to be demoralized so that they would stop believing in their own country," Dodon wrote on his Telegram channel on Wednesday.
