Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilta and her cabinet took office in August 2021. The country now has a president and a prime minister who are both Harvard educated women.
The country which has a population of around 6 million has welcomed over 300,000 refugees fleeing Putin’s bloody assault on civilians in Ukraine.
More than ever the government of Moldova has distanced itself from Putin’s Russia. The tiny country is more culturally European than ever before.
Since they were elected both Sandu and Gavrilta have been publicly and repeatedly calling out for Russian forces to leave Moldova.
Sandu and Gavrilta are taking the latest threats seriously. And it has been reported that Moldova’s Foreign Ministry summoned Russia’s ambassador to the country to express ‘deep concern’ over” Minnekayev’s comments.
