President Maia Sandu and her Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky adopted a joint statement in Kyiv, in which they mention the main aspects of bilateral cooperation.

At the meeting with President Sandu, the Ukrainian leader emphasized the Republic of Moldova’s strong support for Ukraine and noted the negative effects of the crisis in Moldova.

Zelenskyy said: "Our neighbors are in a serious, unstable situation, and only together we can correct this situation. In particular, in the energy sector and in many social issues that are being used by our common enemy against the interests not only of Moldova, but also of our entire region. The absence of crises in Moldova is, among other things, our security."

After the meeting, Maia Sandu wrote a brief summary in a post on social media. "We talked about common challenges and how Russia is trying to blackmail us with energy. Together with Ukraine, we are stronger and ready with solutions to protect our citizens, including those from the Transnistrian region, and to make sure that everyone has electricity and heat in their homes."
