Londra – Il ministro degli Esteri Uk Liz Truss ha detto in un’intervista al Telegraph che il Regno Unito ha iniziato a discutere con i suoi alleati internazionali sull’invio di armi moderne alla Moldavia. Questo per proteggerla dalla Russia e di voler vedere la Moldavia “equipaggiata secondo gli standard Nato”.
“Putin è stato assolutamente chiaro sulle sue ambizioni di creare una grande Russia, e solo perché i suoi tentativi di conquistare Kiev non hanno avuto successo non significa che abbia abbandonato queste ambizioni“, ha inoltre affermato Truss.
