A Russian drone violated Moldova's airspace yesterday and came down 160 km north of Chișinău. We closed our airspace to protect aircraft flying over our country. Flights, including President @ZelenskyyUa's, were cleared to depart or land only once the drone was confirmed down.

Don’t miss Moldova’s pavilion at @la_Biennale di Venezia— On the One Thousand and Second Night — where flying carpets become real, drones humming inside a chapel, in an immersive experience that dares to imagine peace.
