  1. Congratulations to Maia Sandu! 🇲🇩
    Long live democracy in Moldova!

    NO to Russian interference!
    NO to the reconstruction of the USSR!
    FREE UKRAINE 🇺🇦

  2. What about the gross Russian election interference? I am sure if the opposition would have won they wouldn't accept election results

  3. In the US , Trump has influenced many people to doubt the security of our elections.
    Presently I'm volunteering as a Poll-worker. I get people making remarks to the effect that their votes might be changed.

  4. This could result in a replay of Ukraine's Maidan square after the win of pro western Zelensky. Let's hope not.

  5. With this lady as a Moldovian president and Moldovian disgraceful abstained voting at UN against lifting US embargo upon Cuba,we all know where Moldova is going. Another pro western bootlicker.

  6. Sandu won only outside Moldova. Inside the country, she lost to her competitor. Half a million Moldovan citizens in Russia were deprived of the right to vote. There is no point in recognizing the results of such elections.

  7. So weird that she lost the citizens in the nation but won via mail in ballots from citizens abroad which were tallied after the domestic count which she lost.

  8. Politically divided nation will not progress like UK , France , Moldova , Argentina ….political parties busy fighting each other rather than looking after the nation and its people

  9. From Scandinavia, congratulations for freedom and democracy winning. But be careful and persistent, autocracy and oppression still looms as a risk. Continue to fight it off. I look much forward to welcome Moldova in the cooperation in the EU.

  10. just out of curiosity, would you call goverments that were aligned to painter in 1942 (majority of Europe) pro-European, or not?

  11. so these "elections" were fair, although they were obviously "helped" from the outside but the one in Georgia was not? and you are not aganda channel, you are just 100% un accordance with Washington regime… 😂

  12. As a Romanian with a close affinity to Moldova, I want to congratulate the Moldovan electorate for getting it right. Bravo Moldoveni!
    I just wish that on our side of the border, we had a presidential candidate of Maia Sandu's caliber. She comes across as a respectable stateswoman, and a league above anything we have in Romania at the upcoming elections.
    Lastly, I've noted that the acceptance of defeat from Stoianoglo has been more dignified than someone like Donald Trump could ever be.

  13. Election fraud has occurred in Moldova! This means one thing – Moldova will turn into the Baltic states, where the economy has been completely destroyed, and the population of the countries has decreased 3 times in 30 years… Moldovans have deceived you!

  14. West has also meddled big time in Moldova Proof Just look at the organizations below and, on the web, you can easily verify what I am saying:

    Start by looking for NED and Soros Groups and their subsidiaries • International Republican Institute (IRI) • Human Rights Protection (Soros Group) • National Democratic Institute • USAID • Solidarity Centre You can find all these organizations involved in Moldova. This western game plan has become too predictable in the global south it is called projection I steal your money then I claim you are undertaking economic coercion

  15. She only won because of votes that were counted OUTSIDE Moldova, people who voted in Moldova were overwelmingly anti EU and its "progressive" politics….
    They won't tell you here, to keep you in the bubble. And of course you will call me Russian propoganda, even thoe we in US watching this Clown Show.
