Just on these days, a new consignment of humanitarian assistance, made up of electric, medical equipment, glass and food products, was sent to the Mykolaiv city. Moldova and its citizens will continue doing their utmost to back the neighbour country, which resists the Russian invasion and thus protects our peace as well. The Tirana Summit was another opportunity for Moldova to join the calls to the international community to increase the support for Ukraine,’’ President Maia Sandu said.
