German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on September 16 gave a positive assessment of the support provided to Moldova in fending off hybrid Russian attacks and pledged further assistance. "With our help, Moldova was able to stabilize its economy, withstand Russia's hybrid attacks, and get inflation under control," Baerbock said during the 5th Support Conference for Moldova in the capital, Chisinau. "And we will not stop; We will continue to support Moldova in very concrete ways," she added. Baerbock criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that he had wanted to plunge Moldova into chaos and cut off the country's gas supply.
