Oasis Or Training Camp? The Serbian Resort Where Russia Allegedly Plotted Unrest In Moldova
Moldovan police video showed men in combat gear wielding automatic rifles at a complex in Serbia. When RFE/RL’s Balkan Service visited this week, it found donkeys grazing next to rustic thatched huts – and was refused access to the site.

🇲🇩 Russia will not stop and will look for new ways to influence Moldova to destabilize the situation, - President Sandu

"Moscow tested its hybrid attacks in elections, culminating in presidential elections and the referendum on the EU. But the real goal was parliamentary elections," - Sandu said.

🇲🇩 Moldovan MFA said that Russia is trying to disrupt the elections by planting fake mines at polling stations abroad: in Brussels, Rome, Genoa, Bucharest, Asheville and Alicante.

The turnout exceeded 33%. The diaspora is showing high activity - over 145 thousand votes against 124 thousand in 2021.

Big elections in Moldova tomorrow which will decide the country’s future direction. Lots of interference from Russia. The pro-European PAS are ahead in the polling but the Putin-friendly “Patriotic” bloc are not far behind.

Russia is accusing "Europe" of preparing to occupy Moldova.

They are anticipating a loss in the elections on Sunday, and are preparing their supporters for protests. Every accusation is a confession.

Moscow has struggled to maintain control in Moldova. Old methods don't work. This too shall pass.

I guess Russia takes the European intent to rearm more seriously than we do ourselves. Good.
