Social Media Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Moldova's government has collapsed and its pro-EU prime minister has stepped down after 18 months of political and economic turbulence. Europe's poorest country was struggling with "multiple crises", outgoing PM Natalia Gavrilita said on Friday. With the war raging in neighbouring Ukraine, Moldova has been facing inflation, high energy prices, a refugee influx and Russian aggression. The news came just hours after Russian missiles flew over Moldovan airspace. Announcing her resignation on Friday, Ms Gavrilita said that when her government was elected in 2021, no one expected it would have to manage "so many crises caused by Russian aggression in Ukraine". Moldova is precariously close to the war - it shares a 1,222km (759 mile) border with Ukraine, and has suffered greatly from the fallout of Russia's invasion.
