Abstract

Republic of Moldova’s realistic analysis of its security is required to be addressed in terms of geopolitical and geographical position. However Moldova is a state of a geopolitical border, with direct border with the EU and NATO on the one hand and indirect with the Russian Federation, on the other hand. Thus, Moldova ‘s geopolitical position is totally different on the grounds that is in the area of vital geopolitical interests of the Russian Federation and also near other areas listed above. Moldova’s
geopolitical situation is disadvantaged in terms of perception that the Russian Federation has on the post- Soviet space (abroad), that are regarded as exclusive spheres of interest. The events in eastern part of Ukraine caused by Russian-Ukrainian contradictions have a direct impact on regional security. This article will analyze the impact of the Russian and Ukrainian crises on the security of the Republic of Moldova.
