Moldova is beginning the process
of joining the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, which supports
countries during crises and disasters. The Commissioner for
Crisis Management, Janez Lenarčič, presented Moldova with a
pathway document during his visit to the country. Moldova has
previously benefited from the Mechanism during large-scale
displacement caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Once
Moldova joins, it will be able to offer solidarity and
assistance to other countries. Due to its dependence on
Ukraine's electricity systems, Moldova has occasionally
experienced blackouts as a result of Russia's shelling of
Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The EU is sending 36 power
generators from its rescEU energy reserve to Moldova, which will
be distributed to 30 hospitals across the country.
