With its most recent arms package those days are gone.

Moldova is withdrawing from the CIS, which is Russia’s version of NATO designed to be an organization for common defense and trade. It has as much to do with internal Moldovan politics as it does the threat from Russia.

x certain CIS agreements that may conflict with the future process of accession to the EU. From an economic point of view, trade with Russia has been falling in the last decade. In energy terms, Moldova now has alternative routes.⤵️ — Dionis Cenusa (@DionisCenusa) May 15, 2023

x This decision has to do with the political unpopularity of the ruling party (PAS/Sandu) and the urgent need to utilize FP to rebuild the public approval. The decoupling from CIS/Russia will be the topic number one of the upcoming electoral cycles. ⤵️ — Dionis Cenusa (@DionisCenusa) May 15, 2023

If Lukashenko were to assume room temperature, it would not necessarily be a good thing for the people of Belarus. Putin might take the opportunity to install someone who will bring Belarus into the war.

x Seems like Lukashenko looks even worse than Brezhnev?
