Moldova Story: How a Small Republic Resisted Hybrid War
5 December 2025
Britain, France and Germany responded with a 24-point revision, which in itself is a blunder. Terrorists must receive no concessions or they will continue to terrorise us.
There is little point in belabouring the absurdity of the so-called 28-point peace plan. Ukrainians denounced it almost immediately as a demand for capitulation, and they were right to do so. Britain, France and Germany responded with a 24-point revision, which in itself is a blunder. Putin’s game here has nothing to do with peace and everything to do with reasserting control over Ukraine. By enlisting the West in the scheme, he kills two birds with one stone: the other objective is to inflict lasting damage on the Western system of power and to let Russia re-emerge from the ensuing chaos as a global player once more.
Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, faithfully echoing Russian talking points, insists that this is about ‘a great reset’ in the EU – rolling the bloc back from a common European project to a dangerous contest of nationalists. In the longer perspective, the plan is not about Ukraine but about dealing a blow to American power and nudging the United States back towards isolationism.
