For his part, the president of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, declared that the violation of a country’s airspace is the same thing as the violation of territorial integrity.

In the same press conference, Maia Sandu emphasized the security risks posed by Russian citizens who want to flee from Putin’s mobilization in the Republic of Moldova.
“Security risks are greater today. A filter is implemented to ensure that people who want to destabilize the situation cannot reach the Republic of Moldova. But there are also many citizens of the Republic of Moldova who also have Russian citizenship and now want to return home. Things are kept under control. We will continue to monitor the situation”, she said.
Salome Zurabişvili declared that wars have no place in the modern world and that Russian aggression originates from the last century.

“The war in Ukraine represents a danger for our security, for Europe and for the whole world. He must not defeat inhumanity. It is a big challenge for us, who have occupied territories. I would like to condemn Russian aggression and the annexation of Ukrainian territories. For us, it is most important to be in solidarity. The war in Ukraine is a very big challenge, but at least Europe has seen the real face of Russia. We know it, we went through wars and occupation. Europe thought that Russia could be a partner, but the war changed this vision,” Zurabisvili said.
The two presidents agreed to intensify Moldovan-Georgian ties in the commercial-economic field and to exchange experience in combating propaganda and disinformation. This is the first visit of a Georgian president to Chisinau in the last 12 years, notes Deschide.md.
