Chisinau, March 7 / MOLDPRES /- The Moldovan authorities have already taken some insurance decisions and are constantly monitoring the country's food security in the context of the war in Ukraine. The statement was made today by Prime Minister Natalia Gavriliţa during a press conference.

What is happening is inadmissible and we will discuss it with external partners.
