Former Soviet President Volodymyr Zelensky, who emphasizes European-oriented policies, visited Ukraine for the first time to meet with President Zelensky and aim to join the EU = European Union together, deepening cooperation without being influenced by Russia. I confirmed that I would go.
President Sandu of Moldova visited neighboring Ukraine on the 12th and met with President Zelensky for the first time.
A joint statement signed by both sides states that the two countries will resume high-level dialogue and deepen their cooperation towards joining the EU = European Union.
President Sandu, who took office last month, unlike his predecessor, who had a relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, emphasizes European-oriented policies and withdraws Russian troops stationed in the eastern Transnistria region, which has many Russians. I am also looking for.
This time, by meeting with President Zelensky immediately, we confirmed the cooperation with Ukraine, which is in conflict with Russia.
In the former Soviet region, it has been pointed out that Russia's influence is declining, and the situation is unstable, with a series of anti-government demonstrations and battles over disputed territories.
Under these circumstances, Turkey and China are increasing their presence, and the focus is on whether the movement to keep a distance from Russia among the former Soviet countries is progressing.
