On October 17, President of Moldova Maia Sandu took part in the National Forum of Ethnic Minorities. She stressed that Moldova is a home for all its citizens, regardless of the language they speak. At the same time, Sandu recalled the drones falling in Moldova and called for unity. Only joining the EU can guarantee our country’s security and allow every community to preserve and promote its culture.

When the drone crashed in Etulia, a predominantly Gagauz district, it did not ask what language people spoke. Like the drones that exploded between Chadyr Lunga and Valya Perzhei or in Krokmaz. We all have the same concerns and we want the same thing: to know that our children are safe and to live in peace.

Joining the EU means “security, more opportunities for development, and a guarantee that every community can preserve and promote its culture.” “We can be proud of our identity and traditions and at the same time love Moldova. And when someone tries to divide us, to turn us against each other, let’s not forget that we have more in common than we divide.

Recall, according to the Ministry of Defense, since the beginning of the year in Moldova recorded 63 cases of unauthorized passage of UAVs, of which 15 — only in October.

On the night of October 16, four drones from Ukraine flew to Moldova for a few minutes. And closer to the evening, another drone violated the space of the country and exploded in a field in the Dondyushan district. The Moldovan Foreign Ministry condemned repeated violations of national airspace.
