He also highlighted the economic opportunities offered by cooperation between the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. According to him, the two countries have an energy connection through which electricity flows in both directions, and they are currently discussing deepening cooperation in the gas sector as well.

At the same time, the prime minister noted that the transit of Ukrainian goods generates significant revenues for Moldovan Railways. The authorities are also working to attract more Ukrainian businesses to the Republic of Moldova, including in the logistics and warehousing sectors, which could help attract investment and create jobs.


„Support for Ukraine is a choice for the security, peace, and prosperity of the Republic of Moldova. Ukrainians are defending their country and contributing to peace throughout Europe. For their courage, sacrifice, and resilience, we owe them respect and gratitude,” Vasile Tofan emphasized.






The Prime Minister of Ukraine thanked the Republic of Moldova for reducing freight rail transport tariffs, a measure agreed upon in response to Russia’s attacks in the Black Sea. The two countries are ready to extend joint border control to two more crossing points and will soon sign an agreement to this effect.
