Moldova

Moldovan president Maia Sandu expects the country to join the EU by 2030 despite alleged Russian destabilization attempts. The president highlights economic reforms and corruption fight as key to this EU path. However, Moldova faces challenges from financial instability, refugee influx, power shortages, and high inflation. Amid these, Moldova accuses Russia of creating instability and supporting pro-Kremlin forces, which Russia denies. The country is working on maintaining pro-European sentiment ahead of upcoming elections.
