Analyst: The fact that Romania donated a Patriot missile system to Ukraine is important for the Republic of Moldova

The fact that Romania donated a Patriot missile system to Ukraine is also important for the Republic of Moldova, because it is not only an interception system, but also monitors a larger area, said military analyst Claudiu Degeratu, in the interview for Radio Moldova reporter in Bucharest , Mircea Oprea.

"The system is mobile and it can cover some strategic areas of confluence between the security space of the Republic of Moldova, Ukrainian and Romanian. It might also be taken into account to ensure security in this area, between Odesa and the Republic of Moldova. Any system that supervises, monitors this strategic area between Odesa - the Republic of Moldova and the Galati area, is an area that, once secured, brings great stability to the Republic of Moldova as well," said Claudiu Degeratu.

Romania decided, on June 20, to send to Ukraine one of the four Patriot air defense systems it owns. The decision was taken following the meeting of the Supreme Defense Council of the country.
