To my understanding their pro-Western administration doesn’t care about the unification with Romania. It’s not a priority. More like an independent EU integration and accession of EU funds, to which their population is more open.
Maybe they’ll (both the population and government) become more open to unification in case they will feel very threatened, that it’s possible.
According to official declarations, Romania will provide help, but it will avoid entering with armed forces into Moldova.
Iohannis stated that we will not get military involved (with troops) if a conflict arises in Moldova, because they are not a NATO member. Romania will train their military personnel (we already have, he said). And I’m expecting we will send military equipment and ammunition to Moldova, help with logistics. Surely volunteer battalions will form and of course we will take refugees and offer humanitarian help.
What was the exact situation with Crimea, though? The Crimean population was pro-Russian, before Russian soldiers entered it in 2014, right? But in Moldova they are not so pro-unionist.
I mean a sense of urgency for reunification might arise on both sides, if the war approaches Moldova's borders. But I doubt we will enter directly in Moldova by force.
In such an eventuality, I've heard Poland does not want to take back any terrirory from Ukraine ( this could confirmed or denied by people who know better the situation ). Can't speak for Hungary. As for Romania, we are helping them now with everything we can: from weapons, electric energy, taking refugees etc. Our president agreed that Romania will help Ukraine financially too. We signed in 1997 a treaty that we don't have territorial pretentions from them.
Only in future if other parties will come into power, maybe the support for them will finish and there are higher chances of canceling the Neptun treaty.
