The purpose of Sandu's visit was to discuss the situation in Ukraine and Moldova
On Saturday, January 25, the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, arrived in Kyiv for a visit.
As reported on his Telegram channel by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, the aim of the visit was to discuss the situation in Ukraine and Moldova.
“The situation with our neighbors is serious and unstable, and only together can we rectify this situation. This is particularly true in the energy sector and in many social issues that are being exploited by our common enemy against the interests not only of Moldova but of our entire region. The absence of crises in Moldova is, among other things, our security,” – wrote Zelensky.
In a joint statement published on the official website of the President of Ukraine, the leaders of both countries called for the withdrawal of Russian troops from all temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and urged the international community to provide reliable security guarantees for Ukraine.
Additionally, they strongly condemned Russia's deliberate cessation of gas supplies to the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova, which has led to a humanitarian crisis.
“The parties reaffirmed their commitment and ability to provide urgent and concrete solutions to meet the energy needs of the residents of the Transnistrian region, prevent further escalation of the crisis, and restore basic services,” the statement read.
