"If Russia gains control over Moldova, the consequences will be immediate and will threaten our country and the entire region. All Moldovans will suffer, regardless of who they voted for. Europe will stop at Moldova's border. Freedom of movement may end and our land could become a launchpad for penetration into Odesa Oblast. The Transnistrian region will be destabilised. These are their plans and they're not hiding them."
"Today I can say with full confidence that the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and European future of our country are under threat. The Kremlin is spending hundreds of millions of euros to buy hundreds of thousands of votes on both banks of the Dniester River and abroad."
"Moldovans are being hit with "intoxication with dozens of false messages" daily and "hundreds of people are being paid to provoke chaos, violence and intimidate society"."
Moldova faces concerted efforts to undermine its sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and European trajectory through Russian-backed influence. The Kremlin is reportedly spending hundreds of millions of euros to buy votes across the Dniester River and abroad. Citizens are subjected to daily disinformation campaigns and paid agitators intended to provoke chaos, violence and intimidate society. If Russia seizes control, immediate threats would affect Moldova and the wider region, potentially halting freedom of movement and enabling penetrations into Odesa Oblast. The Transnistrian region is expected to be destabilised. Russian officials publicly dispute the election result and criticise Western actions.
