The United States remains confident in the ability of this government to deliver on those promises and to successfully manage these threats.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government of Moldova should be able to provide the necessary reforms for the country&#8217;s growth as well as defending it from those outsiders who would not like to see Moldova succeed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moldova, which is situated between Ukraine and Romania, has been plagued by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/protest-hit-moldova-reiterates-pro-western-stance-on-russia-ukraine_5098184.html\">protests<\/a> amid rising inflation and energy costs and divisions over the Russia-Ukraine war.<\/p>\n<p>Moldovan President Maia Sandu was elected in 2020 on a promise to integrate the country into the European Union. Sandu has portrayed the protests as a Russian attempt to prevent that integration and overthrow Moldova&#8217;s constitutional order.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow, for its part, has denied those claims, though Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov admitted last month that Russia&#8217;s relations with Moldova were &#8220;Very tense&#8221; and accused the country of promoting &#8220;anti-Russian hysteria,&#8221; according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/kremlin-russias-relations-with-moldova-are-very-tense-2023-02-20\/\">Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In his Friday remarks, Kirby noted that additional intelligence had been shared with the Moldovan government to help the country &#8220;Investigate, Thwart, and Disrupt&#8221; Russia&#8217;s alleged plans. He also advised that the administration is currently working with Congress to approve $300 million in energy assistance to offset the impacts of the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The United States supports Moldova&#8217;s economic, political and anti-corruption reforms as well as their deeperening European integration.&#8221; Kirby said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The people of Moldova have shown that they are looking to a brighter tomorrow.
