INTRODUCTION PEACE AND SECURITY ADAPTIVE PARTNERSHIP: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PRESIDENTS OF UKRAINE AND THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA OF JANUARY 2021 Mykhailo Drapak December 2022 Ò The agreements between the Presidents of Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova of January 2021 declared the resumption of dialogue between the two states regarding strategic partnership and resolution of problematic issues at the highest level. Ò The implementation of some tasks stipulated in the agreements between Volodymyr Zelenskyi and Maia Sandu, such as the construction of a modern highway between Kyiv and Chisinau, was postponed due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, in general, the parties maintain an interest in deepening the partnership, which is very important for both states amid threats from the Kremlin. Ò The dialogue at the highest level between Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova, revived in January 2021, did not stop because of the Russian invasion. However, the strategic partnership between the two states needs adaptation to new political conditions, in particular, paying more attention to solving urgent issues of bilateral cooperation: in security, European integration and energy domains. 1
