There are NATO troops in the Baltics so that would immediately spark an Article 5 event. This would dramatically escalate things."</p><p style="text-align: start;">"Moldova, he might try something there. He may also decide to do something in Africa, seizing territory there or something like that," he added.</p><p style="text-align: start;"> </p><p style="text-align: start;">Recently, Moldova re-elected Maia Sandu as president for a second term, after she defeated a Kremlin-backed challenger. Sandu aims to steer Moldova away from Moscow’s influence, and the Moldovan people have also voted in favor of pursuing future membership in the European Union.</p><p style="text-align: start;">(QG - Source : The Daily Express / Picture: © Unsplash)</p>
