Prime Minister Vasile Tofan announced intentions to strengthen national defense through experience gained by the Ukrainian army
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, Moldova's airspace has been violated over 100 times, resulting in debris falling on its territory. Consequently, the Moldovan government intends to adopt Ukrainian technological solutions for countering drones. This was reported by Ukrinform, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
Prime Minister of Moldova Vasile Tofan held talks with the head of the Ukrainian government Sergii Koretskyi during an official visit to Kyiv. The official emphasized that the security situation in the region requires new approaches from Chisinau to protecting its sovereign airspace.
Over one hundred airspace violations
According to Vasile Tofan, the frequency of incidents involving violations of the Moldovan sky remains critically high. Just last Saturday, five such cases were recorded where drones and debris from Russian shells landed on the country’s territory.
The head of the Moldovan government noted that the country remains committed to a policy of neutrality, but this should not mean a lack of an effective defense system. According to him, the state cannot ignore the constant risks to civilians, making the protection of peaceful skies a priority task.
Technological cooperation and economy
The Moldovan side views the Ukrainian experience in countering UAVs as the most advanced globally. Chisinau is particularly interested in relatively inexpensive but effective technological solutions that Ukraine has implemented during the war.
Alongside security issues, the parties discussed expanding economic ties. This includes attracting Ukrainian investments in logistics and warehousing in Moldova, as well as strengthening cooperation in the energy sector and natural gas supplies.
