‘Moldova is worse than Ukraine': My clash with Russian sympathisers fighting the EU
The Telegraph have travelled to Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, during a vital geopolitical crossroads on Europe's eastern flank.
To its east is Ukraine, a country fighting for its very survival. To its west is Romania, a member of Nato and the European Union.
Moldova is a member of neither and for many, that puts it in Putin's sights.
The Telegraph has explored the dangers facing Moldova and the ramifications not only for Ukraine and Europe, but also for the wider West.
If there were such a thing as a second Cold War, Chisinau would be on the front line.

EU-US trade deal could add up to $19 billion in pharma industry costs, analysts say
July 28 (Reuters) - The European Union's trade deal with the United States could cost the pharmaceutical industry between $13 billion and $19 billion as branded medicines become subject to a tariff of 15%, analysts said on Monday. The added costs could raise prices for consumers unless pharmaceutical companies take action to mitigate the impact of the tariffs, one of the analysts said. Pharmaceuticals had historically been exempt from duties. Medicines are the largest European exports to the United States by value and the EU accounts for about 60% of all pharmaceutical imports to the U.S. On Sunday, European officials said that a bilateral trade deal for an across-the-board 15% tariff included pharmaceuticals, except for some generic drugs, which would be subject to no tariffs. The U.S. has been conducting a national security investigation into the pharmaceutical sector and the industry has been bracing for separate sectoral tariffs. President Donald Trump said earlier this month, before negotiating the bilateral deal, that pharmaceutical tariffs could be as high as 200%. Some Wall Street analysts said that they do not expect additional tariffs on the EU as a result of the investigation, but others cautioned that the deal was not yet signed and that several questions remained unanswered. UBS analyst Matthew Weston said that he expects details of the trade deal to include protective measures for EU pharma exports from the U.S. investigation, especially since such measures are being discussed in negotiations with the United Kingdom and Switzerland. ING analyst Diederik Stadig also said that while tariffs on top of the 15% were not expected, even after the conclusion of the national security investigations, nothing is completely clear "until a trade deal is inked." Stadig estimates that these levies could add $13 billion to industry expenses without any mitigation strategies, and some of that could be ultimately borne by the consumer. Bernstein analyst Courtney Breen puts the additional expenses at $19 billion for the industry, but she notes that companies might be able to absorb some of the costs with the measures they have been implementing — such as stockpiling of drug products and new deals with contract researchers. Earlier this month, Sanofi ( opens new tab said it will sell a manufacturing facility in New Jersey to Thermo Fisher (TMO.N), opens new tab, where the French drugmaker's therapies will continue to be manufactured. Roche's (ROG.S), opens new tab CEO Thomas Schinecker said last week that the company was increasing its U.S. inventories to avoid any immediate disruption from tariffs. UBS' Weston said that it was not immediately clear which generic drugs were exempted from duties under the deal, but any impact for generic drugmaker Sandoz (SDZ.S), opens new tab for this year should mostly be manageable. Shares in pharmaceutical companies Sanofi, Roche and Sandoz Group all closed up between 0.5% and 1% on Monday.

Victorious Lionesses are our 'national pride' say MPs and call for squad to be given damehoods following stunning Euros victory
The Lionesses should be awarded damehoods for the Euro 2025 victory, MPs have declared - hailing the players 'a total inspiration' and 'our national pride'. Tory MP Wendy Morton said the entire England women's football team should be honoured, insisting their collective achievement must not go unrecognised - unlike last time they won. 'These girls have done something extraordinary,' she said. 'They are such an inspiration so they absolutely should receive recognition for that. 'It was a team effort, so they should be honoured as a team. Often the people behind the scenes, and those who practice but don't actually get called to play, miss out on the glory - and they shouldn't.' Fellow Conservative MP Caroline Dinenage also backed calls for official recognition, saying: 'They are our national pride. They showed remarkable resilience, teamwork and strength of character. 'They are a total inspiration and one of our most successful national teams.' The Lionesses captured the nation's hearts with their run of historic victories, and campaigners say it is time their achievements were properly rewarded. When they scored their first historic European Championship victory in 2022, just four of the players got gongs. At the time, honours committee chairman Sir Hugh Robertson said the panel wanted to reward outstanding performances rather than the whole team, as they hadn't won the World Cup. Yesterday, Labour's Sarah Champion MP said she supported giving damehoods to all players '100 per cent'. 'Their courage and dedication to the game has inspired women and girls across the country to get involved with football,' she said. 'It would publicly show that we recognise and celebrate the achievements of women and girls, and they could do the same.' Nigel Huddleston, shadow culture, media and sport minister, said 'honours should be lavished upon the lionesses'. 'The purpose of the honours system is to recognise outstanding contributions and achievements, including in the field of sport,' he said. 'The lionesses have certainly been outstanding. 'While not every member of the team may receive an honour this year, I am confident that most will be recognised over the course of their careers - and deservedly so.' Shadow sports minister Louie French MP added: 'These incredible players deserve to be celebrated and honoured in any way our nation can.' Tory MP Shivani Raja said recognising the Lionesses would show young girls and future athletes what is possible. 'They have once again shown just how powerful and inspiring women's sport can be,' she said. 'Their incredible performances reflect real strength, determination, and talent. We must keep backing brilliant role models like these.' Last night, a Downing Street spokesman hinted that members of the victorious team may be recognised in the honours system, saying: 'There is an independent process for nominations, but I hope we will see lots of nominations for this team.'
