STORYLINE:
Moldova’s government collapsed Friday as pro-Western Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita resigned, adding to a series of crises that have gripped the small nation since Russia invaded its neighbour, Ukraine.
Gavrilita told a news conference the “time had come" to step down.
Elected in the summer of 2021, Gavrilita’s premiership was marked by a long string of problems.
These included an acute energy crisis, skyrocketing inflation, and several troublesome incidents such as missiles from the war in neighbouring Ukraine traversing its skies.
Gavrilita said the country was entering a "new phase" where its priority was now its security.
A new government will be nominated by President Maia Sandu and then needs to be approved by Moldova’s 101-seat parliament.
