00:00We have already lost Georgia in Europe.

00:04Human rights and the European nature of the state system are only shrinking there.

00:10Georgia is dependent on Russia.

00:13And for many, many years Belarus has also been moving toward dependence on Russia.

00:19Europe cannot afford to lose Moldova too.

00:23It's important to remember how the world once ignored the need to help Georgia after Russia's

00:31attack and how the moment was missed with Belarus.

00:36How Moldova must not be lost.

00:47at a much higher price.

00:50That's why the EU needs to help Moldova now with funding and energy support, not just

00:58words or political gestures.

01:01We must not forget about protecting the rights of people and the rights of nations in regions
