United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, left, and Moldova's President Maia Sandu, right, arrive to give a joint press conference at the Moldovan Presidency in Chisinau, Moldova, Wednesday, May 29, 2024. – U.S.
Blinken’s trip, organized around a NATO foreign ministers meeting in Prague, the Czech capital, comes amid concerns that Moldova and Georgia, another former Soviet republic, are facing renewed threats from Russia.two weeks ago to reassure Kyiv of Washington’s support in the face of increased Russian attacks in its north.
In Georgia, those fears intensified on Tuesday when the country's parliament overrode a presidential veto of a “foreign agents” bill that has prompted weeks of massive protests by critics who say it will restrict media freedom and obstruct Georgia’s chances of joining the European Union.
Blinken last week announced that the U.S. would impose travel bans on Georgian officials “who are responsible for or complicit in undermining democracy in Georgia, as well as their family members."
