Moldova Backs US $61 Billion Aid for Ukraine

Moldovan authorities expressed their approval following the United States House of Representatives' decision to authorize a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine.

President Maia Sandu characterised this support as "crucial" and emphasised its role in strengthening Ukraine's position. Similarly, PAS MP Radu Marian highlighted the aid's significance, describing it as "essential for maintaining peace and democracy in Moldova."

In a Twitter post, Sandu stated her welcome for the US House of Representatives' approval of a vital $61 billion aid package designated for Ukraine. She further emphasised that this crucial support will bolster Ukraine's ability to resist aggression and contribute to improved regional security.

Taking to Facebook, PAS MP Radu Marian commented on the US House of Representatives' approval of a military support package exceeding $60 billion for Ukraine. While acknowledging the forthcoming formal vote in the Senate, Marian emphasised the critical nature of this vote for preserving peace and democracy within Moldova. He underscored the link between a free and independent Ukraine and a secure Moldova.

It is important to note that on Saturday, the US House of Representatives adopted a $95 billion legislative package with broad bipartisan support. This package allocates security assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, despite objections raised by some hardline Republicans.
