Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke with Moldovan President Maia Sandu, congratulating her on “a very important victory” for her party in the parliamentary elections.
“I spoke with Moldovan President Maia Sandu. I am glad to congratulate Maia on this very important victory and wish her success. These elections showed that Russia’s destabilizing activities are losing, while Moldova is winning in Europe,” Zelenskyy wrote.
He emphasized that Russia’s subversive activities and constant disinformation did not succeed in these elections.
“It is important that Moldova was effective in defending against threats together with everyone who helped. We always support Moldova. We will continue to work together. Together, we overcome challenges and build a future in which our peoples have strong prospects in all areas—security, economy, and therefore social well-being,” Zelenskyy added.
French President Emmanuel Macron expressed support for Moldova following the citizens’ vote, which he called “decisive.”
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk believes that the victory of the pro-European ruling party in Moldova’s elections provides a valuable lesson “for everyone.”
The current ruling party of Moldova, Action and Solidarity (PAS), after counting 99.5% of votes in the parliamentary elections held on Sunday, surpassed the 50-percent voter support threshold.
This predicts approximately 55 seats for PAS in the 101-seat parliament. It also means that Sandu’s party will hold an outright majority in Moldova’s new parliament—despite Russia’s and pro-Russian forces’ overt efforts to seize power.
