In Russia’s Hybrid War on Europe, Moldova’s Critical Next 15 Months

Moscow last week hosted the formation of a political bloc around its primary Moldovan ally, a fugitive billionaire convicted of the country's worst-ever bank fraud - and sent a startling flood of pre-election cash that police seized at Moldova's main airport. This is a critical season for Moldova's democratic allies to help it defeat Russian disinformation and election subversion.
