A new financial assistance package from the European Union will help Moldova improve its airspace surveillance capabilities as missiles from the Ukraine conflict continue to pass over the country’s territory.
The Moldovan military will receive a financial assistance package worth $44.08 million (€40 million), with the European Council approving the measure on 4 May,
The funds, provided under the European Peace Facility initiative, will be utilised for the ‘development of the national airspace surveillance capacity, the development of transport and mobility capabilities, as well as the logistics and communications capabilities of the National Army,’ the Moldovan MoD explained in a 28 April press release.
