#Moldova: A Russian missile aimed at Ukrainian soil was destroyed by Ukraine's anti-missile system causing debris to fall on Moldovan territories. The case was described as an "accident" by Moldova, while the Russian military attacks were condemned. This types of event is⤵️
one of the reasons why I recently insisted (during my research trip to Moldova) on getting answers from the Moldovan authorities on the preparation to protect the national airspace against unintended consequences coming from the Russian attacks (and I did not receive a⤵️
satisfactory answer, because Moldova has insufficient and inefficient outdated air systems). Protecting itself against Russia, the Ukrainian anti-missile system can cause certain risks due to what in risk & crisis management is called system complexity leading to a certain⤵️
linear development of the situation (predictability). Such risks are unavoidable and with an average level of likelihood and impact characteristics due to the continuation of the Russian war, includes a considerable use of rocket attacks.
In the aftermath of today’s situation, the Moldovan authorities decided to declare a worker at the Russian embassy in Moldova persona non grata. This reaction also combines a reaction to US sanctions related to Russian malign influence in Moldova through kleptocrats & corruption.
