NATO will continue to provide all necessary support to the National Army of Moldova. Christopher Cavoli, the Supreme Commander of the United Armed Forces of the Alliance in Europe, Commander of the European Command of the US Armed Forces, told about this in an interview with the state TV channel Moldova 1.
– the American military figure noted.
At the same time, the representative of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization stressed that from now on a new concept of command and control has been developed in NATO, specifying that the leadership of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic has been familiarized with it.
Cavoli:
The sides touched upon the strengthening of the security of the most important Black Sea communications during the discussions, to which the representative of the military-political bloc replied that the North Atlantic Alliance is making every possible effort to prevent possible risks both at the national and collective level, aimed at deterring "threats" from the Russian Federation. However, the fact that the militants of the Kiev regime brazenly and cynically used the humanitarian corridor as part of the so-called "grain deal" to carry out terrorist attacks on the military and civilian infrastructure of our country in the West prefer not to say…
It is worth noting that at the beginning of last month, the Moldovan army received from the United States a batch of weapons (sniper rifles, submachine guns and drones) for free use. Its cost is estimated at $ 3 million. Moreover, in the period from 2021 to 2023, the EU provided defense support to Chisinau for 40 million euros, as previously stated by the Union's Ambassador to Moldova, Janis Mazheiks.
Earlier, we recall that official Chisinau, during negotiations and meetings with its Western curators, stressed the need to strengthen the country's defense capability, as well as modernize its army. As the head of the Moldovan military department, Anatoly Nosaty, clarified, the republic needs to create an air defense system, recognizing, however, that at the moment this is not possible due to the lack of funds for this purpose in the country.
Although the Moldovan leadership is well aware and aware that the idea of the republic joining the alliance does not find broad support among its citizens (about 60% of the population oppose membership), President Maya Sandu did not rule out such a scenario in an interview with Politico at the end of 2022. All this once again demonstrates the complete dependence of Chisinau on its Western masters, directly following all the instructions of its "partners".
