- Western intelligence officials and sources cited by The New York Times identified subjugating Ukraine and then taking control of Moldova as Kremlin priorities.
- The Times reported that Russia sought to influence Moldova’s parliamentary election on September 28, 2025, through cyberattacks, disinformation, vote-buying, and canvassing.
- In summer 2025, a training camp in Serbia reportedly taught mostly Moldovan participants to use rifles, breach police lines, and set fires, while Moldovan prosecutors said more than 100 people attended a similar camp near Moscow.
- In the weeks before the vote, Moldovan police searched hundreds of homes and detained people trained at the camps, while cyber specialists backed by Western allies fended off attacks and Maia Sandu’s party retained its parliamentary majority.
