The Council today adopted an assistance measure worth €120 million under the European Peace Facility in support of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Moldova to enhance the country’s air defence capabilities, the Council of the European Union said, APA reports.
The assistance measure will finance a mid-range air defence system for the benefit of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Moldova. It complements previous EPF assistance measures in support of air surveillance and air defence.
This support will continue to enable the Moldovan Armed Forces to improve their operational effectiveness and thereby better protect civilians.
This new action brings the EU’s overall support to Moldova to €317 million under the European Peace Facility.
The European Peace Facility was established in March 2021 to finance all Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) actions in military and defence areas, with the aim of preventing conflict, preserving peace and strengthening international security and stability. In particular, the European Peace Facility allows the EU to finance actions designed to strengthen the capacities of third states and regional and international organisations as regards military and defence matters.
