Moldova’s President calls out Russian meddling, urges international community to support her country's EU integration effort

“EU integration is the only way to keep our democracy safe,” Moldovan President Maia Sandu says. While the tiny ex-Soviet republic, which is landlocked between Romania and Ukraine, remains committed to democracy and its plans to join the EU, Russia has been trying to undermine that goal. "Russia wants to keep us in the grey area. Russia wants to be able to use Moldova against the West and against Ukraine.”
