Moldova's airspace has been violated more than 100 times since the start of the war
Published
Moldovan President Maia Sandu and the country's Minister of Defence Anatolie Tofan stated that since the start of Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine, Moldova's airspace has been violated more than 100 times. According to Tofan, drones and their debris have also fallen on the country's territory. He emphasised that Russia must be held accountable for such actions.
Moldova is not a party to the war, but due to its proximity to Ukraine and its neighbourhood with Romania, security issues in the region are of great importance to it. Military aircraft and drones that enter Moldovan airspace may pose a risk to civilians, so the country's authorities regularly inform the public about such incidents.
For Ukraine, this information is important, as it shows that the consequences of the war extend beyond our state and affect neighbouring countries. It also serves as a reminder of the need for international coordination on airspace security issues.
So far, details regarding possible steps Moldova may take at the international level have not been published. The situation should continue to be monitored, as the issue of airspace violations remains relevant.
