“Today, Europe is facing two wars,” Moldovan President Maia Sandu told the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on Tuesday 27 January.
The first - “visible, brutal, devastating” - is being led by Russia in Ukraine.
The second is a “war against our democracies”, which is “less visible” but “no less dangerous”.
“These two wars are not separate. They reinforce one another. [And they] pursue the same objective: to undermine, control, and divide Europe.”
