Sandu on NATO Assistance: It Is Aimed at Strengthening Our Defense Capabilities

NATO’s support for Moldova has recently intensified. This was stated by President Maia Sandu in an interview with CNN. According to the Head of State, our country receives assistance from NATO member states to “strengthen our defense capabilities”, tv8.md reports. “We have cooperated with NATO before, and now there is more support. We are getting more assistance from NATO member states to strengthen our defense capabilities. Obviously, we cannot do miracles in a short time, but yes, we have made specific requests for the defense sector, and although we understand that Ukraine is a priority and should be a priority, we hope to receive support to increase our defense capabilities,” Maia Sandu stressed. At the same time, the president noted that no matter how difficult the situation in the country is, some solutions must be found. “Propaganda is part of hybrid warfare. Turning energy resources into weapons is part of the hybrid war, and the Russian Gazprom reduced gas supplies to Moldova by 60%, despite the contract concluded with us. Despite the fact that we pay high prices. We have seen that corrupt groups in Moldova, along with pro-Russian political forces supported by Russia, have organized protests to destabilize the situation. But no matter how difficult it is, we have to find solutions, and our development partners support us,” the President stated.
