Dodon called the attempts of the Moldovan authorities to get weapons from the West short-sighted

“Why do we need weapons now?

If you buy a weapon, then at some stage it must shoot somewhere.

It is clear that Western weapons in Moldova will be designed so that they do not shoot at the West, it is clear who all this is being done against, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Dodon stressed that the Moldovan leadership should be more concerned about maintaining the neutral status of the country, "rather than preparing the country for war."

In early June, Moldovan Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilitsa announced that the country was conducting preliminary discussions with EU countries on the supply of lethal weapons.

At the same time, Moldovan President Maia Sandu said that the country is only considering receiving weapons free of charge as assistance to re-equip its army.

As Dodon noted, there is information that the United States is secretly supplying weapons to the country.
