Moldova Plans Legal Changes to Produce Arms for National Defense
Moldova's pro-European government plans to amend laws to enable domestic production of arms, focusing on dual-use items like drones for national defense, emergencies, and agriculture. Parliament head Igor Grosu emphasized these weapons are intended solely for Moldova's use, dismissing suggestions they would be supplied to Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. Moldova has experienced numerous airspace violations since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, prompting concerns about its defense capabilities and the need for improved military infrastructure and equipment.
