Here is my co-authored article on #EU-#Russia relations seen through the prism of domestic actors in #Moldova, acting as #internationalbrokers. We conclude that Moldova is continuously exercising a tightrope act between Western and Eastern #integration projects.

If you've advocated since 2022 not to help Ukraine's defence because it's useless, you shouldn't be bloviating now about how Zelensky has to make tough choices. Sit this one out. In shame.

1/ 🚨 Breaking news from the Transnistrian gas crisis:
The #EU is sending 3 million m³ of gas to Transnistria. But here’s the kicker—it’s paid for by Russia! Yes, Russia is lending money to #Transnistria (via Tiraspoltransgaz) to buy European gas. 🧐

It appears that #Romania will support #Transnistria 's existence as a de facto state, and also the status quo in the region. I'm not sure that conflict transformation, let alone its #resolution, can be achieved this way. #Moldovan citizens there must be protected by international law, first.

Romania’s political landscape is reeling after a little-known, far-right populist secured the first round in the presidential election.
Calin Georgescu, who ran independently, will face off against reformist Elena Lasconi in a December 8 runoff.

#defactostates have agency. They are not only "Russian puppets" as commonly portrayed by the "experts" on #Eurasian or #postsoviet space. #Abkhazia is characterized by political pluralism resulted from local clan fights. #Russia is not always at the table.
Occupied Georgia. Let’s talk about Abkhazia, an occupied part of Georgia. This small, Black Sea coastal territory has been at the center of historical conflicts, ethnic tensions, and geopolitical struggles.
