Moldovan President Maia Sandu emphasized that increased support for Ukraine's air defense plays a crucial role in safeguarding Moldova itself, noting that a growing number of Russian drone incursions into Moldovan airspace are directly linked to the shortcomings in Ukraine's capacity to intercept these drones, according to UATV English.
At a press conference following a coalition meeting, Sandu addressed a question from FREEДОМ correspondent Oleh Borysov regarding the countermeasures against Russian drones violating Moldova's airspace. She highlighted a marked rise in such incidents this year, attributing it to insufficient assistance in supporting Ukraine's efforts to intercept and shoot down these drones.
Sandu stressed that Moldova cannot tackle this challenge alone and called for collaboration with Ukraine, Romania, and the development of more efficient and cost-effective methods to counter the issue. Sandu also revealed that Moldova shares intelligence with both Ukraine and Romania to aid in tracking and responding to the incursions.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who attended the press conference, affirmed that Ukraine promptly shares intelligence on illegal border crossings with its partners, including Moldova.
