Moldovan Sovereignty: Russian Incursions

Contribution

My Lords, we are deeply concerned by the significant increase in the number of Russian drones entering Moldovan airspace in recent weeks. Foreign Office officials are in close contact with Moldova on this matter. The United Kingdom reaffirms its strong support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova. Russia bears full responsibility for airspace violations in Moldova, which are dangerous, unacceptable and demonstrate Russia’s increasing attempts to provoke and destabilise Moldova by any means.
