The Republic of Moldova and Poland have combined forces in the fight against the Russian propaganda and for a safe cyberspace. The hybrid war is not only an ordinary phrase, but is a fighting instrument by which Russia aims to destabilize nations and to destroy the cooperation prospects between countries. The statements were made in a news conference held by Prime Minister Dorin Recean and his Polish counterpart Mateusz Morawiecki, who is in Chisinau on a visit. The officials signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the field of cybersecurity, IPN reports.
Premier Recean said that Moldova and Poland have rich cooperation experience and this visit to Chisinau symbolizes the effort to extend the Moldovan-Polish cooperation. “We evidently discussed the security agenda and security problems in the region and also conferred on our bilateral agenda. We discussed the security problems caused by Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. We expressed our support for the Ukrainian people, pleading for peace and freedom in the region, primarily in Ukraine. W firmly condemn Russia’s illegal invasion of the neighboring country and state our support for the restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine,” said the Moldovan official.
Dorin Recean thanked his counterpart for the consistent support offered by Poland to Moldova in time.

For his part, Mateusz Morawiecki said that Poland and Moldova try to help and to deliver security, being united in the support for Ukraine. “We perfectly realize the threats related to Russia’s hybrid war, the blackmail related to gas and energy, the energy attacks that are seen in the Republic of Moldova and also in Poland, and the Russian propaganda that is so active in Moldova and in Poland. These are our common challenges. Both of the countries have been in the shadow of war for over a year and we are confronted with the consequences of the war,” stated the Polish official.
“In our history, there were very important events - when we joined NATO 25 years ago and when we joined the European Union in 2004. We now must do our best for the Republic of Moldova to become part of the European Union. Our support comes at different levels,” said Mateusz Morawiecki. He noted that Poland will offer 20 electric generators for Moldova’s hospitals and other institutions.
