The European Council President Charles Michel has promised to increase the EU’s military aid to Moldova. Tensions have been rising in the neighboring country to Ukraine as a series of explosions occurred in a pro-Russia separatist region.
Michel told a news conference with Moldova’s President Maia Sandu that armed forces and military equipment would be provided to the country.
