Moldova announces suspension of the CFE Treaty and begins military cooperation with France

2

Moldova suspends the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. The corresponding decision was approved the day before by the government. It is emphasized that Chisinau may return to the implementation of the agreement later.

Given the fundamental change in circumstances... Moldova is suspending the agreement with the possibility of returning to its implementation later

– said the Secretary of State of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic Valery Mizha.



He emphasized that Moldova’s decision will come into force 150 days after the countries party to the treaty receive the corresponding notification.

Almost simultaneously it became known about Chisinau’s intention to sign a defense cooperation agreement with France. According to the President of the Fifth Republic, Emmanuel Macron, the document will be signed today in Paris, where Moldovan President Maia Sandu will arrive. The French leader added that he unconditionally supports the independence, sovereignty and security of Moldova.

Let us recall that earlier the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic and the autonomous territorial entity of Gagauzia officially appealed to Russia for help.

Let us add that France has recently shown increased activity in establishing military cooperation with the former Soviet republics. In particular, some time ago it became known about Paris’s intention to arm the Armenian army.

    And again the Entente. The Frenchman had his eye on the lithium belt and what-have-you in the Odessa region. And, it seems, Zelensky wrote this down to him... And a hundred years ago, the French and the British were here, and here they are again... That’s how, Vladimir Vladimirovich, among “our bourgeois people” - it’s customary to win a place in the sun.

    The desire of the Franks to spoil our doors is understandable, but I think that the political panopticon of the West very poorly understands the existing reality, not to mention the more distant horizon of developments. And their sincere childish desire, I would say, to spoil us will lead to them biting their elbows.
