If the Russian Federation wins its war against Ukraine, the next target of the aggressor state will be Moldova.

This statement was made by the Chief of the General Staff of Romania, Vlad Georgiță, in an interview with Europa Liberă.

He noted that the population of Romania, like all European Union citizens, is concerned about the situation in Ukraine.

"We must take measures and be prepared. If Russia wins in Ukraine, the main goal will be Moldova. We will witness tension in the Western Balkans. I believe that no seconds should be lost. This is the moment when all European countries need to consider preparing the population," Georgiță said.
