What do Moldovans think of the Russian invasion of Ukraine? A March 2023 poll by Watchdog confirms that there is no consistent or strong majority public opinion support for Ukraine in Moldova. watchdog.md/2023/03/09/comun…

Thank you
I love this story because it reminds me that one person can make a difference. In 1979, Jadav Payeng began planting a tree every day for 37 years — results are stunning

"This was my biggest dream,” the Moldovan president told me; “To have the chance to focus on dealing with the internal challenges, not to have any complications around us and in the region.” Unfortunately, there are complications... theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

If Russia looks beyond Ukraine, will Moldova be its next target? I asked Moldovan Prime Minister @natgavrilita about the conflict next door, absorbing refugees, and economic impacts:

Beyond thrilled with @EU_Commission’s backing of #Moldova’s bid to join the European Union. We are fully committed to keeping up the good work, pushing ahead with reforms and bringing #Moldova into the EU.
We also recommend to grant Moldova the candidate status, on the understanding that the country will carry out reforms. 
🇲🇩 is on a real pro-reform, anti-corruption and European path. 
It still has a long way to go. But we believe it has the potential to live up to the criteria.
