President Maia Sandu of Moldova stated in a national address that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova are currently facing serious threats. Russians have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to buy votes on both sides of the Dniester River, hired hundreds of people to spread rumors and incite rebellion. Sandu called on the people of Moldova not to believe the Russians, but to trust Europe, and not to be bought by the Russians.
This Sandu came to power with the support of the Soros Foundation. She has implemented policies that fully tilt towards the West and away from Russia. As a result, Moldova's GDP shrank by 6%, and the inflation rate reached as high as 30% in 2022, with natural gas prices doubling and electricity prices also rising significantly. If the economy cannot be improved, no matter how eloquently you speak, the people will not support you, because your popularity is too low. Therefore, Sandu started to promote the old cliché of the Russian threat. In fact, for a small country like Moldova, maintaining neutrality is its only choice; tilting fully towards any side will not bring any good results.
