Moldova has once again deployed its border officers away from Ukrainian territory as persistent Russian drone strikes continue to threaten crossings. Interior Minister Daniella Misail-Nichitin announced this measure on October 7, according to NewsMaker. In recent months, Russia has intensified attacks on Ukrainian border points near Moldova's borders with neighboring countries.

Moldova plans to withdraw all of its border patrol personnel from Ukraine. Earlier this month, a Moldovan border guard was injured when a projectile hit near a passenger bus at the Palanca crossing. Moldovan authorities are bolstering security at all border crossings, including those on Ukrainian soil, by creating protective zones for border officers and civilians.

The ministry revealed that personnel have been withdrawn from two joint border crossings with Ukraine - Criva and Palanca - with plans to do so at additional crossings. This is the second time Moldova has pulled its personnel from Ukrainian territory in response to Russian threats.
