She said this after a meeting of the Supreme Security Council, NewsMaker reports.Sandu stated that the Kremlin is investing in several political projects to get its people into the next parliament. According to her, all these projects are coordinated from a single center and largely funded through schemes involving fugitive oligarch Ilan Shor.The country’s president expects disinformation campaigns and manipulation of public opinion organized from abroad, paid protests, and sabotage of voting in the diaspora.Sandu also warned of potential cyberattacks on the digital infrastructure related to the elections, as well as on other critical infrastructure facilities.Moldova expects the church to be used in the interests of a foreign state, with “opinion leaders” and online influencers engaged as intermediaries to spread messages against the country’s European course.“This should not scare us; it should mobilize us. Russia’s interference carries serious risks to public order and national security, and most importantly, it could dramatically undermine the country’s sovereignty and our European future,” Sandu said.The Moldovan president assured that state institutions know what to do.“In the near future, they must act more coordinately, professionally, and as a united team to protect national interests. A difficult period lies ahead, dear citizens. But our future depends only on us,” she added.
