The foreign minister of the Republic of Moldova Nicu Popescu has urgently summoned the Russian ambassador to Chișinău Oleg Vasnetsov to demand explanations about the launch of three cruise missiles against Ukraine from Russian military ships in the Black Sea that crossed Moldovan airspace. The Moldovan foreign ministry says the Republic of Moldova views this incident as extremely grave and regrettable and one that could cause additional tension. Violating our national airspace is completely unacceptable and the shelling of the neighbouring country must immediately stop, said the Moldovan foreign ministry in a statement. The country’s president Maia Sandu also strongly condemned what she described as Russia’s criminal attacks against different regions in Ukraine.
