“Moldova condemns these actions and stands in full solidarity with Ukraine,” wrote Moldovan President Maia Sandu on her social media page, referring to Russia’s missile attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and the violation of Moldova’s airspace. “While our countries celebrate Christmas, the Kremlin chooses destruction, clearly violating international law.”
On Christmas morning, Russia targeted Ukraine’s energy system with missiles and drones. Moldova’s energy system, connected to Ukraine’s, remains stable, with no failures reported.
A Border Police patrol observed a missile launched by Russia in the Iampol-Coseuti direction. The missile allegedly crossed Moldova’s airspace near Otaci-Mogilev-Podolski and exited across the border into Romania near Dorohoi-Herta.
