MEPs visit Romania and Moldova

ECR MEP Assita Kanko and five more MEPs in the Parliamentary Committee on Security and Defence from other political groups will visit Romania and Moldova next week. Central to the visit is a meeting with Maia Sandu, the President of Moldova. According to Kanko, “Sandu is a brave woman who wants to pull her country out of the grip of corrupt oligarchs and Kremlin war criminals. I have great admiration for her and she deserves our full support. Closer strategic cooperation with the EU is necessary. Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine is the biggest challenge in decades for Europe. We must now show that we can defend our security and our values. That struggle is taking place not only in Ukraine itself, but also in Moldova and in Romania, a member state of both the EU and NATO.” The meeting with Moldovan President Maia Sandu is scheduled for Wednesday.

When: Monday - Thursday
