McCain: Moldova is next

Die EU will schon im Juni das Armenhaus Moldawien mit einem Assoziierungsvertrag beglücken. Rein zufällig deckt sich dies mit der Friedens-Agenda von US-Senator McCain.

Aus dem Ukraine-Liveblog des „Guardian“:

Not only does US senator John McCain think the US should arm pro-Kiev fighters and think the current EU sanctions pertaining to the Ukraine crisis are laughably soft – he thinks Moldova, one of Ukraine’s neighbors to the south, should move to join the EU. McCain led a senatorial delegation to Moldova today, AP reports:

Four U.S. senators visited Moldova Thursday to lend support to the former Soviet republic’s move toward the European Union, while Russian President Vladimir Putin urged Ukraine to end a blockade of the country’s separatist province Trans-Dniester.

U.S. senators John McCain, John Barrasso, John Hoeven and Ron Johnson met with Moldovan Prime Minister Iurie Leanca to discuss energy security and how to attract U.S investments to Moldova.

The senators‘ visit came as Putin complained about Nato expansionism. „Will they drag Ukraine into Nato?“ Putin said today. „If Nato goes there, Russia will be pushed out from the area around the Black Sea.“
