The Republic of Moldova respects the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine within the internationally recognized limits.

" Thank you, all the people of Moldova for hosting our refugee people since the first days of this large-scale war. We will never forget this. We talked about our bilateral, infrastructure priorities, on which we will sign agreements in the near future. Ukraine is ready to join NATO and I believe that security guarantees are very important not only for us, but also for Moldova. Today I will have discussions with partners about potential coalitions in the future and the Coalition of Patriots, which is our new initiative. We will also discuss possibilities of support on the battlefield," said the leader from Kiev.
