The European Council underlines the European Union’s steadfast support for the Republic of Moldova and its accession path. It commends the consistent commitment of the authorities of the Republic of Moldova to the reform process and invites them to pursue reforms and to strengthen the country’s resilience and stability, show the conclusions regarding the Republic of Moldova adopted by the European Council at its October 17 meeting, IPN reports.

The European Council condemns Russia’s persistent foreign information manipulation and interference to attempt to undermine democratic elections and the choice of the Moldovan people for a prosperous, stable and peaceful European future.

The European Council welcomes the adoption of the third package of sanctions against those responsible for actions aimed at destabilizing, undermining or threatening the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Moldova. The European Council reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the Republic of Moldova’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

European leaders’ discussions focused on solutions for migration management. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was also present at the summit and presented his “plan for victory”, but the European leaders did not discuss it. In its conclusions, the European Council reiterated its resolute condemnation of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and reaffirmed its continued support for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. It also reconfirmed the European Union’s unwavering commitment to providing continued political, financial, economic, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support to Ukraine and its people for as long as it takes and as intensely as needed.
