Moldova Confronts Russian Threats Amid EU Membership Push

As Moldova advances towards EU membership, it faces escalating Russian interference and military tensions, particularly in the Transnistria region.

Moldova has experienced its most challenging period in over three decades due to Russian threats and interference, as it pursues EU membership.
Russia is accused of conducting a 'hybrid war' against Moldova, including funding protests, meddling in elections, and disinformation campaigns.
Tensions in the Russia-backed breakaway region of Transnistria have increased, with fears of annexation by Russia.
Moldova's internal security has thwarted multiple Russian destabilization attempts, including a planned coup and orchestrated protests.
Despite challenges, Moldova remains committed to joining the EU, with a referendum on membership planned for later this year.
