Zelenskyy to meet Moldovan and Romanian presidents

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, to participate in the nation's Independence Day commemorations.

During his visit, Zelenskyy is expected to engage in a bilateral meeting with Moldovan President Maia Sandu. Following this, a trilateral summit is planned, which will include the President of Romania, Nicușor Dan. The leaders were invited to Chisinau to attend the festivities marking Moldova's independence.

This visit takes place amid heightened regional tensions. Reports indicate that shortly before the planned events, five Russian drones entered Moldova's airspace during a Russian air attack targeting Ukraine. This incursion highlights the ongoing security concerns in the region and the potential spillover effects of the conflict.

The presence of Zelenskyy, Sandu, and the Romanian president underscores the ongoing diplomatic engagement and cooperation among these neighboring countries, particularly in the context of regional security and Ukraine's ongoing defense efforts.
