Maia Sandu Blames Russia for Attempt to Suspend Her

Maia Sandu Russia suspension initiative Moldova EU integration

Moldovan President Maia Sandu said Russia is behind the parliamentary initiative to suspend her from office, describing the move as a reaction to the country's pro‑European direction and recent election results.

She argued that the opposition has repeatedly weakened Moldova's independence, while her administration has reinforced it, especially in the energy and defence sectors. Sandu added that Russia has refused to accept the election outcomes and is seeking to reverse the integration progress achieved over the past three years.

Calling the initiative a hypocritical action by those serving Moscow's interests, Sandu noted that European partners have confirmed Moldova's advances toward EU accession.
