The Prime Minister of Romania spoke about the unification of the two countries against the background of the war in Ukraine The possible unification of Moldova and Romania depends on the will of the citizens of the two countries, said the Prime Minister of Romania Luca Nicolescu in an interview with TVR Moldova in Chisinau. According to him, at this stage the priority remains in strengthening bilateral ties and bringing Moldova closer to the European Union. "It is clear that there are many ties between our countries and that the issue of union is discussed, including during difficult times. I will definitely say: the union will be possible when the citizens of both countries want it. In the meantime, we aim to bring Romania and Moldova even closer, to bring Moldova closer to the European Union, to create new bridges and connections between us," said Nicolescu. The issue of the union of the two countries has again become the focus of attention against the background of the war in Ukraine and the Russian pressure on Chisinau. These factors increase concerns about Moldova's security and future development. At the beginning of 2026, the president of Moldova, Maia Sandu, said in an interview with British journalists Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell that she would vote for union with Romania if a referendum was held on this issue. At the same time, Sandu admitted that there is no majority in Moldova that supports the union. According to her, a more realistic goal is joining the European Union, which will allow the country to maintain its sovereignty and strengthen democracy. Romanian President Nicosor Dan, in an interview with the German media in 2025, also said that he personally supports the union with Moldova. However, he stressed that Bucharest will not take steps as long as the citizens of Moldova prefer to keep the current state. In 2018, the Romanian Parliament stated that it considers the desire of the supporters of the union of the two countries to be legitimate, and expressed its willingness to support the union if it becomes the result of the free will of the citizens of Moldova.
