Nantoi about 2024: What is happening on the front line between Ukraine and Russia is strategically important for Moldova

2024 is the year of major changes in the world’s grand politics and global security architecture. But these changes project enough uncertainty about what we will experience this year, with presidential elections coming up in the US and Russia and witnessing a waning Ukrainian counter-offensive and an “epidemic” of farmers’ protests taking hold in Europe. The statements belong to PAS MP Oazu Nantoi, reports jurnal.md.

Uncertainty will dominate in the year that has just begun, and for the Republic of Moldova, the evolution of the situation on the war front in Ukraine is of particular importance, where things no longer seem so optimistic against the backdrop of the counter-offensive launched by Kyiv, which does not necessarily seem to have the expected results.

“The year 2024 is the year of great uncertainty. For the Republic of Moldova, what happens on the frontline between Ukraine and the Russian Federation is strategic. We see that the exaggerated, optimistic expectations about Ukraine’s counteroffensive have not come true. The situation is dramatic. Putin’s authoritarian regime continues to have superiority in some strategic areas, such as aviation, missiles, drones, etc.,” the parliamentarian said.

All these events around the world are arguments in support of the idea that 2024 means uncertainty above all. In this context, Nantoi believes that to bring more certainty, social cohesion is needed, along with responsibility and commitment.

“I did not mention March 17, when elections are due soon in Russia. We realize it will be a spectacle. Already, the Kremlin has declared that observers from unfriendly countries will not be accepted. Thank God we are on the list of “unfriendly countries.” And it remains to be seen what will happen on the left bank of the Dniester on 17 March because until recently, Russia used to hold its elections for either the State Duma or the presidency on the left bank of the Dniester on the territory of the Russian Federation. I repeat, we have entered a year of great uncertainty. That is why I come back to the simple idea that we must do what is up to us: responsibility, civic cohesion, and commitment”, concluded Oazu Nantoi.
