Ukraine is Concerned about the Situation in Moldova

Kyiv called on the Moldova’s political forces to dialogue, and the NSDC held a meeting on the situation in the neighboring republic. Ukraine is observing the development of the situation in its neighboring country Moldova with concern and calls for the resolution of political disputes as part of a political dialogue, the press service for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said on Sunday, June 9. “We call on the leading political forces of Moldova to act within the legal framework, to resolve disputes through political dialogue in order to avoid violent confrontation.  The prevention of an outside interference is crucial for the country and security of the situation in the region aimed at the implementation of the Russian scenario of federalization of the country”, the foreign Ministry stressed. It is noted that Ukraine is interested in a stable, democratic and European Moldova and is ready, if necessary, to assist in solving the existing problems. It is stated that Moldova remains an important partner and neighbor for Ukraine. It also became known that in the evening of June 9, the National Security and Defense Council also discussed the situation in the neighboring republic, The Secretary of the NSDC Alexander Danyluk reported on his Facebook page. “There was an extended meeting in the NSDC due to the political crisis in Moldova. We analyzed the possible threats to the security situation in the region. We have set tasks to monitor the situation and possible response in case of escalation”, he said. We remind that the Parliament of Moldova appointed a new government and declared the country a seized state, which should be released. This happened after the Constitutional court of Moldova ordered the President to dissolve the Parliament to set a date for early elections because the legislators failed to form a new government within 90 days after the approval of the election results. The party of socialists and the ACUM bloc believe that the allotted period has not expired, as the Constitution says about three months, not 90 days. In the end, the country’s Constitutional court has temporarily removed from the post as President Igor Dodon, and the Prime Minister Pavel Filip, appointed by the Constitutional court as acting head of the republic has signed the decree about dissolution of Parliament and called for early elections on September 6.
