Moldova’s defense minister said Tuesday that the country could declare a mobilization if the war in neighboring Ukraine after Russia invaded moves toward its borders.
Last week, Russian missiles aimed at Ukraine entered Moldovan territory, the minister Anatolie Nosatyi said in an interview with public broadcaster, TVR Moldova.
The minister said the scenario could happen again and urged Moldova’s Western partners, including NATO, to provide support to guarantee security in the country.
Asked whether Moldova would declare mobilization, he said: “For this scenario to play out, there needs to be some serious changes on the front line in Ukraine.”
„For example, if the fighting moves closer to our borders, if there are changes regarding migration to our country from Ukraine, or if we notice the mobilization of military units in the war zone, then it could happen,” he added.
Moldovan President Maia Sandu said Monday that necessary precautions would be taken in case of Russia’s intervention against Moldova’s sovereignty and security.
