EU approves €20 million in military aid for Moldova

European Union (EU) ambassadors will give the green light on April 9th ​​for the bloc's largest military aid package to date for Moldova, worth 20 million euros.

This decision is important because Moldova is a constitutionally neutral country and in the past the EU has only provided it with assistance that was considered "non-lethal", such as military vehicles, aerial surveillance, and equipment to strengthen cybersecurity.

That changed last year, when Brussels offered €9 million for short-range missiles for air defense systems. Now, the EU is doubling that amount.

The approval of these measures comes just a week after the same EU ambassadors approved another financial aid package to complement this first one.

The other package, worth 40 million euros, is what the bloc calls non-lethal military assistance. Of this amount, half will be used to buy about 33 high-mobility tactical vehicles to replace aging Soviet-type vehicles.

While the other 20 million Euros are for a short-range tactical air defense integration system, which will essentially enable the trouble-free operation of the launchers and missiles offered in the "lethal" package.
