Sandu outlines purpose of her visit to Ukraine

"In January, I will fly to Kyiv to meet with Mr. Zelensky. And this is just the beginning," Sandu said in an interview with DW.

According to her, the purpose of this visit is to restore relations between Moldova and Ukraine.

"We want to restore relations, because some work has been carried out at the level of governments, but at the level of presidents there have been no meetings at all over the past four years. It is important for us to restore relations," she said.

The Moldovan leader stressed that there are many specific issues that need to be addressed.

"We have the issue of security in the region and the issue of our path towards the European Union, the reforms that we must implement to bring our countries closer to the EU. And, of course, the issue of boundary delimitation and the issue of hydropower plants, i.e. specific issues," Sandu said.

As reported, the administration of President of Moldova Maia Sandu confirmed that the head of state will pay her first official visit to Kyiv on January 12 to meet with Ukraine’s top leadership.
