Two tablets for two volunteers, in a town that was once the «Youth Capital» yet keeps losing its 20-year-olds

The Ungheni city hall and the bank MAIB awarded tablets to two high-school graduates — Sorina Iachimovschi and Maxim Angheluță — for their volunteering at the Municipal Youth Centre. The gesture is small, but it rests on a surprisingly dense youth infrastructure: two centres, the title of «Youth Capital» and a municipal grants programme. The question it raises is bigger than a tablet: can all this machinery keep a generation at home? National Bureau of Statistics figures show that the number of 20–24-year-olds in the district has fallen by 62% in a decade.

The third conscription stage begins in Ungheni, from a youth pool 64% smaller than ten years ago

The Ungheni Territorial Military Centre has announced that from 22 June it is running the third stage of conscription into compulsory military service — part of a national campaign calling up to 1,200 young men. Beyond the administrative notice, National Bureau of Statistics figures show how shrinking the recruitment pool is: the number of men aged 20–24 in the Ungheni district has fallen by almost two thirds in a decade. Here is what recruits and their families need to know — including the right to deferral and to civilian service.

Four names on the monument, nine on the state list: the sons of the Ungheni district who fell on the Dniester in 1992

Thirty-four years after the June 1992 battles, the national commemoration of those who fell in the War of the Dniester can be read on the map of the Ungheni district too. At the monument, the town remembers four names, but the official state list — the “Book of Memory” — shows at least nine men born in the district who died that year, many of them at Tighina, in the very June days now being commemorated. Triunghi.md recovered their names, villages and where they fell.

Yellow heat warning and up to 35 °C: in Ungheni, safe swimming means only the Prut and Delia, where there are lifeguards

The State Hydrometeorological Service has issued a yellow heat warning for 22 June, with highs of up to 35 °C, and IGSU comes with reminders on three fronts: water, fire and health. For people in Ungheni the stake is concrete — since the start of 2026, 18 people have drowned in Moldova, two of them children, and the town has only two swimming spots with lifeguards: the Prut beach and the one on Lake Delia.

Ten years of twinning with Cluj: the hora returns to the stage in Micul Cluj Park

On Sunday, three ensembles turned the stage in Micul Cluj Park into an evening of dance and song, under the “Cultural Summer in the Park” banner of the House of Culture. Beyond the “Hai la Joc și voie bună” show, the story is about how a park named in honour of the twin city of Cluj-Napoca has become, summer after summer, Ungheni's great open-air hall — and the next big event is the Sânziene festival, on 5 July.
