The Prime Minister of Moldova clarifies that Moldova is a neutral country by constitution and has no plans to join NATO, countering Russian narratives. He stresses the importance of maintaining a good relationship with NATO, including with Romania, a NATO member.
“Thank you for asking this. By the way, this is one of the, say, scary stories that Russia is using, that somehow we're going to be dragged into the war as a potential NATO member. So I want to make it clear, we're not a NATO candidate. We are a neutral country by our constitution, and there are no plans to join NATO. But at the same time, for us, it's very important to have a good relationship with NATO, including Romania, who's a NATO member.”
