I welcome Mrs. Miculet and thank her for her presentation. My colleague Deputy Brady has already mentioned that wars can be fought in different ways. There are the conventional boots on the ground, tanks and planes. There are also propaganda wars, disinformation, destabilisation and cyberattacks. Last week there was a change in political leadership in Moldova. I wish the country well with respect to fighting the other war that is going on, which is also quite dangerous. I am not sure whether we can help with that one. I recognise this pressure. I thank the ambassador of Moldova and her country for what they have done with respect to what is happening in the neighbouring state of Ukraine.
