“It is clear what the greatest concern of the people here is: that if Ukraine falls, Moldova is the next country in line.”
The President of Moldova Maia Sandu said Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine is responsible for causing financial damage.
Reuters reported that Sandu accused Moscow of trying to overthrow her government and that Moldova needs increased support from their allies as the country is facing serious challenges.
Sandu said, “Russia’s war against Ukraine, which we condemned from the very first day, has caused enormous damage to our economy.
“The uncertainty caused by the war continues to seriously hinder our economic development and will continue to hinder it as long as the war lasts.”
