The shadowy SVR openly pushes disinformation narratives
On 28 September, President Maia Sandu and the pro-EU Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) scored a landslide victory in the Moldovan parliamentary elections. The PAS won more than 50 per cent of the vote, giving the party control of the parliament and hence giving Moldova a firm pro-EU orientation. The victory came despite a massive pro-Russian FIMI campaign that targeted Sandu and the PAS.
