Russia's large-scale military invasion of Ukraine constitutes a threat to the entire region's stability.
In the context of the influx of migrants resulting from this conflict, France supports Moldova's request for assistance from the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. France stands with Moldova and will provide the country with bilateral assistance.
