French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk will meet Moldovan President Maia Sandu to celebrate the country’s 34th independence anniversary while advancing its European Union membership aspirations.
Sandu and her European allies have repeatedly accused Moscow of attempts to destabilise the former Soviet republic that lies between war-torn Ukraine and EU and NATO member Romania.
The three EU leaders will give a press statement alongside Sandu on Wednesday afternoon, before a dinner.
Macron, Merz and Tusk want to reaffirm their “support for Moldova’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity,“ a French presidential adviser told journalists.
“We cannot ignore the consequences of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which directly affects Moldova,“ he said.
In the east of the country is the pro-Moscow separatist region of Transnistria, where Russian troops are stationed.
He added it was the first visit of the so-called Weimar Triangle leaders together in Moldova.
Sandu, re-elected for a second term in 2024, last month accused Russia of “preparing an unprecedented interference in the September elections” to “control Moldova from the fall”.
The three EU leaders’ visit comes as the US-led drive for Russia-Ukraine peace talks seems to be stalling.
