Russia today denied that it interfered in any way in the parliamentary elections in Moldova, which were won yesterday by the ruling, pro-European party.
Moldova is a former Soviet republic bordering Romania and Ukraine, which was partially occupied by Russia in 2022, with which it has been at war ever since.
Moldova and Ukraine were granted candidate status for membership in the European Union in the same year.
The Moldovan authorities "cynically accused Russia, not the European Union, of interfering in the political processes in Moldova, fueling insinuations about a 'Russian threat', which does not exist," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
Moldova has accused Russia of interfering in the election process to stop its path to the European Union.
