Moldova is ready to accept any number of Ukrainians who need a safe place this winter. The country’s president, Maia Sandu, also emphasized her support for Ukraine and the shared security challenges facing both countries.

The government is preparing to continue accepting refugees if winter conditions in Ukraine become particularly difficult.
