The President of the Parliament says that the subject will be discussed at the Supreme Security Council, where possible risks will be analysed. Igor Grosu says that in the context of this mobilisation, the Republic of Moldova must be prepared for a new wave of refugees. The head of the Legislature assures that for now there is no imminent danger to the security of the Republic of Moldova, IPN reports.

Two days ago, the leader from the Kremlin announced the partial mobilisation, about 300 thousand reservists. Vladimir Putin mentioned that the mobilisation only targets people who have military training. The President of the Parliament from Chisinau says that the announcement worries the authorities of the Republic of Moldova, as we could witness a change in the developments on the battlefield.

"We do not see an immediate danger to the Republic of Moldova, but that does not mean that the partial mobilisation does not worry us. 300 thousand people is enormous. And this can lead to escalation, if you mobilise 300 thousand armed soldiers to the confrontation line, it is obviously a concern. We are summoned by the president to the Supreme Security Council to hear the law enforcement and security institutions. Let's see their analyses, the information from the field, which may be the repercussions on the immediate area, Odessa, Nicolaiv. Currently, all Ukrainian and international military experts say that there is no danger for the Odessa region. The first thing that would target us is a new wave of refugees", said Igor Grosu in the program "Cutia Neagră" on TV8.

The rhetoric of some Russian officials and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, according to whom the Republic of Moldova could be the next target after Ukraine, is meant to distract the public's attention from the failure of the war, says Igor Grosu.

"The messages from Moscow and Minsk aimed at us have two recipients. It's about their internal audience, the invading side didn't have great successes, they even recorded a setback. That is why a message of encouragement must be sent to the domestic public. On the other hand, this rhetoric feeds our 5th column, including the fugitives who would sell the country just to save their skin and fortune. I don't think that the nuclear threat is real. I think that the people there are rational, beyond the bravado they present on TV", said the President of the Parliament.

President Maia Sandu called the meeting of the Supreme Security Council for Saturday, September 24. Priority, on the agenda of discussions is the subject of regional security in the context of the war in Ukraine.
