Moldovan Prime Minister Vasile Tofan accused Russia of repeatedly violating his country's airspace in an address to the United Nations General Assembly, while warning against normalizing relations with Moscow.
Tofan said Moldova continues to welcome people fleeing the war in Ukraine and has reduced rail costs to support the transport of Ukraine's grain cargo, framing these measures as part of his country's response to the ongoing conflict in its neighboring region.
Moldova's position amid regional tensions
Moldova, which borders Ukraine, has repeatedly reported airspace violations and other security incidents that officials have linked to Russia's war effort. The country has also taken in a significant number of refugees since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022.
Tofan's remarks at the General Assembly reflect a broader pattern among Moldovan officials of raising security concerns on international platforms while emphasizing the country's support for Ukraine.
No specific incidents or dates of alleged airspace violations were detailed in the available report of the address.
