According to Natalia Gavrilitsa, Moldova is helping Ukraine in the war in a different way.
The Prime Minister of Moldova Natalia Gavrilica said that her country cannot provide military assistance to Ukraine, Interfax-Ukraine reports. She did not comment on the information that Moldova has refused to provide our country with six MiG-29 fighters that have remained in the country since the Soviet era.
“Moldova supports Ukraine and its citizens … in another way – by accepting refugees, providing humanitarian aid, complying with all international sanctions in the banking and financial sector,” Gavrilitsa said.
According to her, now in Moldova more than 90,000 refugees from Ukraine remain, and the country is providing them with all the necessary assistance.
“In terms of military assistance, these are countries that are much better equipped (military equipment) and developed, which have the economic and energy capacity to provide such assistance,” said the Prime Minister of Moldova.
At the same time, Gavrilitsa did not answer the journalist's direct question about whether there was a request for the transfer of fighters from Kyiv.
The day before, Ukrainian media reported that Kyiv had asked Chisinau to sell or hand over six MiG-29s on Moldova's balance sheet. But in Chisinau, according to media reports, refused.
