Moldovan President on Russian attack: deliberate terror against people of Ukraine, country's science and economy
Moldovan President Maia Sandu condemned the Russian attack on the building of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and civilian targets in Kyiv, emphasizing the deliberate nature of the terror against the people of Ukraine.
The Verkhovna Rada's European Solidarity faction is seeking an urgent closed-door meeting of the Conciliation Council and a parliamentary session to address the ongoing aerial terror campaign by Russia. This issue centers around providing air defense and Armed Forces equipment, as well as the situation regarding shelters. Geraschenko, co-chair of the faction, emphasized the need for reports on domestic missile and anti-Shahed system production, which authorities have repeatedly announced.
She also questioned the state of Ukraine's communication systems and their protection. The attacks on Kyiv have highlighted the city's vulnerability to jet-powered drones, while the occupiers continue to modernize their weapons and increase production. Geraschenko urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to meet with parliamentary faction leaders, noting that the escalating situation coincides with numerous summits and statements about the dire conditions faced by Ukrainian citizens and the allocation of billions to fund these drones.
She pointed out that the return on investment for Ukraine's defense sector is significantly higher than in NATO countries, despite the devastation of the Ukrainian economy. Geraschenko questioned whether it's time to revise regulations and adopt NATO standards for the relationship between the state and arms manufacturers, considering the substantial budgetary allocations to this sector.
