closed all border crossings with Ukraine on May 13, citing unspecified security
reasons, the country’s Financial Administration said.
“For security reasons, all border crossings on the border with Ukraine are closed today from approximately 3:00 p.m. until further notice,” the statement said.
“The Financial Administration recommends that the public monitor current information and respect the instructions of the Financial Administration and the Police Force. We will keep you informed about further developments in the situation.”
Earlier, Moldova’s Defense Ministry said that during a large Russian attack on Ukraine on May 13, one of the drones flew over Moldovan territory.
According to the ministry, at about 4 p.m. the drone crossed the border from the Mohyliv‑Podilskyi area in Ukraine’s Vinnytsia Oblast toward the village of Sauca in Ocnita district. At 4:26 p.m., the unmanned aerial vehicle disappeared from radar near the village of Mindjir.
The drone reappeared at 4:55 p.m. near Colibasi in the Cahul
district and at 4:58 p.m. flew over the village of Kishlytsia Prut in the same
district, the ministry said. It again disappeared from radar near Giurgiulesti,
the ministry added.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
