Ukraine and Moldova have signed an agreement on military-technical cooperation to strengthen joint efforts to deal with Russian threats, Prime Minister Serhii Koretsky said after a meeting with his Moldovan counterpart, Vasil Tofan. ▫ Ukraine's accession to the European Union is critical to Moldova's security, just as Moldova's accession is to Ukraine. The coordination of the integration efforts of the two countries in the European Union makes sense not only from a security point of view but also from an economic point of view. ▫ Koretsky thanked Moldova for agreeing to facilitate the transportation of cargo by train in response to the Russian attacks in the Black Sea. ▫ Ukraine and Moldova are ready to expand joint border control to two additional crossing points. An agreement on this is expected to be signed soon. ▫ The two countries also value their energy partnership, especially agreements on gas transit through the Trans-Balkan Corridor. Moldovan companies already use Ukrainian gas storage facilities. ▫ The two sides agreed to renew the work of the intergovernmental committee for trade and economic cooperation and the "Odessa triangle", a format that brings together Ukraine, Moldova and Romania. They plan to hold the first meeting of the "triangle" at the level of the prime minister.
