Moldova’s EU-aligned President Maia Sandu has won a second term following a runoff vote, which pitted the incumbent against a pro-Moscow opponent. Sandu’s national security adviser accused Russia of “massive interference.”

Maia Sandu: “Moldova has been under an unprecedented attack in the history of all Europe — dirty money, illegal vote-buying, the interference in electoral processes by hostile forces from outside the country and by criminal groups, lies, sowing hatred and fear within our society. Our people have united, and freedom and the citizens have won. Peace and hope for a better life have prevailed!”
