"Moldova’s foreign policy goals for 2026: No unification, but more European integration"

Moldovan President Maia Sandu said in a recent media interview that she would support Moldova’s unification with Romania if the Moldovan population voted in favor of this initiative. While this initiative is unlikely to happen, this statement highlights the strong relations between Chisinau and Bucharest (current and historical).
Furthermore, President Sandu’s statement can also be put in the context of Moldova’s growing engagement with Europe. At the end of 2025, Moldova’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister, Mihai Popsoi, discussed his ministry’s five diplomatic achievements for the year. One new accomplishment is that Moldova is currently the president of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe and will organize a major ministerial summit in May. Moldova’s quest to join the European Union — President Sandu wants her country to join the bloc by the end of the decade — remains steadfast. If the first half of the 2020s can be summarized as Moldova embarking on a European quest, the second half of the decade will cement it.

Experts said operational surprise was certainly a factor, but so too were years-long issues with Caracas’s aircraft fleet and personnel.
WASHINGTON — When the United States military launched an operation to fly directly into downtown Caracas and snatch Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, top US officials noted that the invading force was met with limited ground-to-air fire — but they made no mention of any aerial resistance.
