Maia Sandu about Russian missiles crossing the territory of the Republic of Moldova: These actions violate international law
President Maia Sandu condemned the Russian attack on Ukraine’s energy system launched on Wednesday morning, as well as the illegal crossing of missiles on Moldova’s airspace. In a message on the X platform, the head of state said that Russia’s actions clearly violate international law.
“While our countries celebrate Christmas, the Kremlin chooses destruction — targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and violating Moldova’s airspace with a missile, actions that violate international law. Moldova condemns these acts and stands in full solidarity with Ukraine,” Maia Sandu wrote on the X platform.
We remind you that Russia attacked Ukraine’s energy system and cities in its eastern region with cruise and ballistic missiles on Wednesday morning, the first day of Christmas, the Ukrainian Minister of Energy announced.
Two of the missiles launched by the Russian army against the energy infrastructure in Ukraine crossed the airspace of the Republic of Moldova. The information was confirmed by the Border Police and representatives of the Government.
According to the authorities, one of the missiles was observed by a patrol in the Iampol-Cosăuți direction. Later, another one allegedly crossed the airspace of the Republic of Moldova in the Otaci-Moghilev Podolsk area and exited through the border with Romania in the Dorohoi-Herța area.
The airspace monitoring system of the National Army did not detect the crossing of the airspace of our country by any missiles or drones, informs the Ministry of Defense.
