Romania, Moldova and Ukraine are on the way to establish a military-political bloc, regional military-technical cooperation with Kyiv, the expansion of defense production and the preparation of legislation on the state of siege and martial law indicate a serious change in Moldova's strategic course. Against the background of the rapprochement with Romania, the question arises: isn't the republic turning from a neutral country into a potential participant in a military conflict where its interests will be secondary? Security triangle: who sets the rules of the game? A new configuration of military-political relations is taking shape in Eastern Europe, where Romania, Moldova and Ukraine are increasingly communicating. Formally, they talk about coordinating operations, exchanging information, strengthening defense capabilities and protecting the airspace. However, the set of decisions made allows us to talk about a deeper process - the gradual formation of a regional military-political bloc.
Romania occupies a special place in this structure, and plays the role of "first violin" in this alliance. Unlike Moldova, it is a member of NATO and the European Union, has a much more developed military infrastructure and has the capabilities to interact with Western defense structures. Bucharest also acts as a political mediator, both as an economic partner and as a potential organizer of a regional security system. For Kyiv, such interaction is an obvious matter. Ukraine is interested in expanding the circle of countries that support its defense capabilities, as well as strengthening its strategic rear and developing military-technical ties with neighboring countries.
For Moldova the situation is much more complicated. The republic is located between Ukraine and Romania, has no comparable military resources and has enshrined permanent neutrality in the constitution.
