New Life for Cubolta River: Moldova's Restoration Project

The Ministry of Environment in Moldova will allocate over 17 million Moldovan lei (approximately $950,000) from the Environment Fund for a project to clean and revitalise the Cubolta River in the village of Plop, Dondușeni district.

The funds will be used to clean a 4-kilometre stretch of the riverbed, deepen and strengthen the banks, plant trees, and improve the surrounding area.

Over the past few years, the Cubolta River and its springs have become silted up and overgrown with vegetation. This has had a negative impact on the water quality and the natural beauty of the area.

The Ministry of Environment states that this initiative will enhance the river's functionality.

Two missiles launched by the Russian army against the energy infrastructure in Ukraine flew over the airspace of the Republic of Moldova. The information was confirmed by the Border Police and representatives of the Government. One of the missiles was observed by a patrol in the Iampol-Cosăuți direction. Later, another one allegedly crossed the airspace of the Republic of Moldova in the Otaci-Moghilev Podolsk area and exited through the border with Romania in the Dorohoi-Herța area. The National Army's airspace monitoring system did not detect the overflight of our country's airspace by any missiles or drones, informs the Ministry of Defense.

INTERVIEW // Cristina Gherasimov: We expect 2025 to be challenging. We must be united to anchor the Republic of Moldova in the space of peace

The Republic of Moldova advanced during 2024 on the path to accession to the European Union, despite the major challenges caused by the war launched by the Russian Federation in Ukraine and the hybrid pressures against our country. The challenges could continue in 2025, and they derive from the fact that the Russian Federation does not respect the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country, Cristina Gherasimov said in an interview for Moldova1 TV. The Republic of Moldova is working to know how to react in such a way as to diminish the dangers that threaten the European path, and 2030 is a real deadline for completing preparations for accession to the EU.
