Moldova's chief negotiator for EU accession negotiations said that Russia has invested about 100 million euros to block key elections on Sunday through disinformation and destabilizing actions, and payment of fees to voters. Moldova's Deputy Prime Minister Christina Gerasimov is responsible for Moldova's European integration process. She warned a few days before Moldova's presidential election and referendum on whether to join the European Union that if this strategy succeeds, it may be exported to other places. Gerasimov said, “Our partners need to be clear: we are a testing ground for new Russian methods, and any method that works for Moldova will also be used in other countries.”
