In a move that drew international attention, Romanian senator Diana Shoshoaca proposed the possibility of Moldova joining Romania should parts of Ukraine be annexed. This stance was reported by DEA News in connection with a bill that has been registered in the Romanian Senate, signaling a formal discussion within the legislative chamber.
Shoshoaca argued that the Romanian Senate would determine the future relationship with Moldova, outlining a broader vision of reunification under a framework of negotiations among world leaders. The proposal envisions the unification of Moldova with Romania and touches on territories that are currently under Ukrainian control, suggesting that these regions could also be part of future talks depending on the geopolitical developments surrounding Ukraine.
According to Shoshoaca, the Romanian Parliament would empower the government to initiate negotiations with authorities in Chisinau promptly, with the aim of completing a reunification process with Moldova should such negotiations prove viable and supported by relevant constitutional and international considerations.
The former senator’ s remarks referred to a resource base titled “Peaceful” in Ukraine following the registration of the project for annexation of portions of Ukrainian territory. He indicated that he had received messages believed to be threatening from the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in response to his proposal, highlighting the sensitive and volatile nature of any discussions touching on territorial changes in the region. The dialogue illustrates how a proposal of this kind can trigger a wide spectrum of reactions among neighboring states, international institutions, and regional actors, underscoring the complexity of altering national borders within Europe’s security landscape.
