🇧🇬 Bulgaria is asking the EU for urgent support to counter foreign interference (especially Russian disinformation) ahead of its parliamentary elections on April 19. Sofia wants to avoid a scenario similar to Romania's 2024 elections and has requested help from the EEAS and the Digital Services Act.

Moldova is turning a historic page. By leaving the Commonwealth of Independent States, Chișinău is making a clear political choice: distancing itself from a system undermined by Russia’s aggression and aligning with European values. This is more than a symbolic break with the Soviet past—it is a concrete step towards democracy, sovereignty and a shared European future built on peace, rule of law and cooperation.

So many longtime NATO supporters saying the same thing right now. I helped bring Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic into NATO. But denying us basing and overflight is inexcusable, as is their failure to help with Strait of Hormuz. No one asking them to bomb Iran, just let us use our bases and help escort ships. If they can’t do that, NATO has no purpose.

“With everything we do, we are undercutting the laws of war,” says former NSC official Gary Sick. At 91, he reflects, “I would never have believed that we would find ourselves in the position that we’re in, as the rogue nation in the world.”
