European Union to provide Moldova with new support of 60 million euros for enhancement of defence
Moldova will receive new financial assistance, amounting to 60 million euros, on behalf of the European Union (EU). EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas has made statements to this effect at a joint conference with President Maia Sandu.
The head of state said that, with the support of the EU, Moldova would benefit from equipment that can protect citizens from Russian drones.
"The drones that violate our airspace and even crash on our territory endanger people's lives, homes and infrastructure," Sandu stressed.
The European Union's diplomacy head specified that the financial support aimed to strengthen the resilience of Moldova and enhance its defense capabilities, in the context of escalating security risks at Europe's eastern borders.
"We have agreed on an additional package of 60 million euros for Moldova, as part of efforts to strengthen its resilience against external threats. This aid also targets defense capabilities, in order to prevent incidents, such as the falling of Russian missiles on Moldovan territory," Kallas said.
According to the cited source, this assistance is part of a broader European Union strategy to support the stability and security of partner countries in the eastern neighborhood, in the context of regional tensions triggered by the war in Ukraine.
EU High Representative Kaja Kallas is on a visit to Chisinau on April 23-24. This is her first visit to Moldova as a member of the European Commission.
