Sanctions

Romania proposes that the European Union adopts a separate set of sanctions against entities or persons supporting Russia’s attempts to destabilise the Republic of Moldova. The Romanian foreign minister Bogdan Aurescu said on Monday in Brussels that these measures are called for in light of recent intelligence obtained by the Moldovan officials proving Moscow’s intention to destabilise Moldova as part of a plan that includes the war in Ukraine. Romania’s proposal comes as the European Union is holding talks on adopting a tenth package of sanctions against Russia.
