Moldova experienced a morning of attacks as three Russian missiles and two drones entered its airspace during intensified Russian strikes targeting neighboring Ukraine. These incidents highlight Moldova’s increasing vulnerability to the fallout from Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine. While the projectiles were not intended targets within Moldova, their passage through Moldovan territory raises concerns about potential escalation and the country’s security. Moldovan officials have condemned the violations of its airspace and expressed anxieties over the evolving situation. The attacks underscore the challenges faced by Moldova, which shares a long border with Ukraine and has a breakaway region, Transnistria, backed by Russia. The government in Chișinău is seeking increased international support to bolster its defense capabilities and mitigate the risks posed by the conflict next door. These events emphasize the wider regional instability stemming from Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
