Nicusor Dan: There is Russian hybrid war in Europe; Romania can offer technical expertise to Moldova
President Nicusor Dan declared on Wednesday that there is a Russian hybrid war in Europe, noting that, in view of the parliamentary elections in the Republic of Moldova, Romania can offer the neighboring country technical expertise on several components, such as cybersecurity.
‘Again I return to those July 18 press releases from NATO, the European Union and the British Government, which say that there is Russian interference in Europe, there is a Russian hybrid war in Europe, with a cyber component and a disinformation component. So, these are the facts. For the Republic of Moldova, the facts are even clearer and more intense, because there, beyond these two components, there was another component, which was vote buying, which is proven in several thousand cases investigated by the Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Moldova,’ Nicusor Dan said when asked about the fact that the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, warned that Russia was preparing to interfere in the parliamentary elections this autumn.
He mentioned that the parliamentary elections in the Republic of Moldova on September 28 will be very important for Europe.
‘What can Romania do, without obviously interfering with the electoral process, is to provide technical expertise on several components. For example, on the cybersecurity component, we are obviously better than the Republic of Moldova and, at the request of our counterparts, we can help them’, added Nicusor Dan.
Asked whether he had spoken to Maia Sandu about this, the president mentioned that he had discussed this during his visit to Chisinau.
The President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, sounded the alarm on Wednesday that Russia was preparing ‘an unprecedented interference’ in the parliamentary elections on September 28, for which ‘financing of over 100 million euros’ is reportedly planned, deschide.md and Moldpres report.
