Sandu said that Moldova's accession to the EU is "the only way to survive" for the country

“Joining the EU will strengthen our security, give us more opportunities for economic development.

EU membership is the only way for us to survive," TASS quoted her as saying.

Sandu focused on the fact that the presence of the Russian military in Transnistria complicates negotiations on joining NATO.

Earlier, the former President of Moldova, Igor Dodon, said that Moldova would not join the EU in the foreseeable future.
