The UK announced sanctions against the Russian-based Evrazia group, alleging its involvement in efforts to undermine Moldovan democracy. These sanctions, which freeze assets and impose travel bans, target Evrazia's founder and members. The UK Foreign Office claims the group attempted to rig a referendum that would amend the Moldovan constitution to support EU membership. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy emphasized that these actions are crucial for preserving democratic governance and countering Russian attempts to destabilize Moldova. The Moldovan president welcomed the UK’s stance, highlighting the importance of holding malign actors accountable.
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated, "When dirty money flows freely, it erodes public trust, destabilises economies and enables malign actors to subvert the rule of law."
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office announced sanctions on Evrazia to combat efforts undermining Moldova’s democracy and countering Russian malign influence.
