Moldova's National Security Council ordered stronger protection for energy infrastructure against hostile actions, including drone and cyberattacks. President Maia Sandu said the measures should also support faster restoration of essential facilities after an incident. [1]
Sandu said Moldova had recorded 39 airspace violations since the start of 2026, compared with 17 in 2025, and attributed the regional drone threat to Russia. That attribution is the Moldovan president's position; the report did not include a Russian response. [1]
ContextThe president said Moldova was expanding surveillance, electronic-warfare and limited air-defence capabilities, and had secured €120 million in non-repayable EU funding for a medium-range air-defence and aerial-target detection system. The announcement describes planned resilience measures, not a completed nationwide air-defence shield. [1]
