The European Union is to earmark another 40 million Euros for the Republic of Moldova’s army after the latest scandal caused by Russia’s efforts to overthrow the pro-Western government in Chisinau.
Most of the money will be spent on a mobile long-range radar, which would enable the Republic of Moldova to monitor its airspace. The rest of the money will be used to purchase light vehicles, buses, trucks, communication equipment as well as anti-hacking hardware and software. The money comes from the European Peace Fund, a common deposit of 8 billion Euros, created by the EU members.
The most part of the aforementioned fund has been spent for Ukraine, a country invaded by the Russian troops. Moldovan authorities decided to buy the radar, after Russia had in the past months fired several missiles through the Moldovan air space to hit targets in Ukraine.
