Maia Sandu, in the Latvian Parliament: "The Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact drew lines through the middle of nations, through families, through lives. What today is the Republic of Moldova was torn from Romania."

The President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, stated in the Latvian Parliament that the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact drew lines between nations, affecting people's lives without their will. She emphasized that what today is the Republic of Moldova was taken from Romania, and the history of the two countries is similar in the context of the Soviet occupation.

Maia Sandu highlighted that, unlike Latvia, which had a moral clarity in the face of occupation, Moldova emerged more divided after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In this context, she stated that unification with Romania could strengthen Moldova's security, especially in the face of Russian aggression. Although she did not discuss unification with European leaders, Sandu said she would vote for unification with Romania in a referendum. Reactions to her statements have been mixed, and sociological data shows that the majority of Moldovan citizens do not support the idea of unification.
