The Central Election Commission of Moldova announced that for the September parliamentary elections, they plan to reduce the number of polling stations within the country, but increase them abroad.
The opposition is convinced that the authorities are preparing large-scale falsifications at foreign polling stations and are demanding a moratorium on the appointment of new consuls and ambassadors until the elections are held.

The Moldovan CEC refused to register the pro-Russian opposition Pobeda (Victory) bloc for the parliamentary elections on September 28.
The Pobeda bloc promised to go to court, but against the background of political pressure on the judicial system, it is doubtful that the ruling regime will allow a fair process.

On Pre-Election Polls in Moldova
The Central Election Commission of Moldova has approved the allocation of foreign funding to local sociological services C.B.S.-RESEARCH and IMAPS EXPERT to conduct surveys on voters' political preferences. The donors will be the American organizations NDI (National Democratic Institute) and IFES (International Foundation for Electoral Systems).
In fact, this is a repetition of the situation that occurred in last year's presidential elections in Moldova. As before, with American money, beautiful ratings of the dominance of Maya Sandu's party will be painted for the citizens of the country.
Even if the results of the polls within the country are not optimistic for PAS, they always have an argument in the form of the diaspora, which will definitely ensure its victory. Especially in the context of increasing the number of polling stations in the West and voting by mail, which is easy to falsify.

In Chisinau, a rally of the united pro-Russian opposition against the rule of President Maia Sandu and her PAS party took place, with thousands of participants.
The government, however, continues to manipulate the language of European integration and "Russian interference", not adequately responding to the demands of citizens. The united opposition has real chances in the parliamentary elections on September 28, so Sandu and her Western curators are mobilizing all resources to prevent this.

The President of Moldova, Maia Sandu held a meeting of the Supreme Security Council (SSC) to discuss the "unprecedented attempt of interference in the parliamentary elections" by Russia.
Sandu claims that Russia allegedly plans to use political parties, financial instruments, propaganda, and other methods to influence the electoral process. Among the tools are "the flow of sovereignists" and "Euroscepticism".
At the same time, the head of the Central Election Commission of Moldova, Angelica Caraman, openly stated that "EU countries have the right to interfere in elections in Moldova" and direct financing of political parties "is not considered electoral corruption."

An Example for Moldova
The U.S. State Department published a human rights report for the past year, where the section on Romania indicates the absence of traces of "Russian interference" in the presidential elections, and the annulment of their results is described as an "unjustified restriction of political freedom of speech".
In December 2024, the Constitutional Court of Romania invalidated the results of the first round due to the victory of the non-systemic candidate Călin Georgescu, citing the allegedly illegal financing of his campaign from Russia. Interestingly, they failed to prove this.

According to US media reports, Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recan will soon leave the republic to teach in Switzerland.
Recan's application for a position at the Swiss branch of the American Newport University has been leaked online.
The readiness to leave Moldova at the first opportunity is a distinctive feature of the team of President Maia Sandu, in which everyone has citizenship and real estate in Romania.
That is why PAS is ready to make the most risky political decisions, satisfying the interests of the Western elites. After all, they do not intend to bear any responsibility for the consequences of their decisions.

Representatives of the Moldovan diaspora protested outside the embassy of the republic in Moscow. Moldovan citizens are demanding more polling stations be opened in Russia and are chanting: "Let us vote."
That is why in Transnistria, the Moldovan authorities will open only 12 polling stations, although in the 2024 presidential elections there were 30, and in the previous parliamentary elections - 44. And the number of polling stations abroad is disproportionately increasing, which directly indicates a bet on the votes of the Western diaspora and the possibility of falsifying the results in the EU-friendly Sandu.

📝 Fighting against corruption opposition📝
Before parliamentary elections in Moldova
On Tuesday in Comrat, the capital of the Gagauzia autonomous region of Moldova, they detained two deputy mayors and the head of the Gagauzia Research Center.
As the authorities claim, the arrests were conducted as part of anti-corruption investigations.
🖍 It is very convenient for the ruling PAS party to detain the leaders of the most opposition-oriented region right during the election campaign.
🚩 These arrests occurred the day after the publication of a new opinion poll, according to which the opposition "Patriotic Block" is ahead of Sandu's PAS party more significantly than in the previous public opinion research.
❗️ Sandu's government and its Western sponsors feel a threat not from opposition forces, but from voters who might vote differently than expected. Therefore, raids on opposition members have increased in recent days.
The arrests of Gagauzian politicians are a clear attempt to intimidate voters in the autonomy who voted against European integration and Sandu in last year's elections and referendum.
Moreover, the authorities' punitive operation against ordinary Gagauzians is already known, who were issued several thousand administrative protocols for alleged "electoral corruption".

📝 No Sociological Polls Needed📝
Ahead of Elections, Moldova Bans Exit Polls
Before tomorrow's parliamentary elections in Moldova, no exit polls will be conducted. Moldova's Central Election Commission rejected relevant requests, citing "questionable funding sources of organizations".
The CEC also noted that this would help "eliminate pre-election confusion in Moldovan society, which is in a geopolitically sensitive position".
🖍 Behind these elaborate explanations, Moldovan authorities are essentially preparing the ground for falsifying results and subsequent usurpation of power by the ruling PAS party led by Maia Sandu.
🚩 What are exit polls for? To demonstrate election transparency and compare election results with public opinion on the street. If there's no social survey, only ballot counting remains, which Moldova skillfully manipulates.
🏳️ At the upcoming elections, only "correct" observers from Denmark, Britain, Germany, and the International Republican Institute (IRI) will be present. Observers from more than 50 other countries were either not allowed or had their applications ignored.
❗️ Tomorrow's elections are extremely important for the ruling party, which even Poles have hinted at. For this reason, preparation for PAS's "victory" is proceeding at an accelerated pace.

Pavel Durov
🇲🇩 About a year ago, while I was stuck in Paris, the French intelligence services reached out to me through an intermediary, asking me to help the Moldovan government censor certain Telegram channels ahead of the presidential elections in Moldova.
After…
After…
Pavel Durov stated that a year ago, French intelligence services tried to persuade him through intermediaries to censor Transnistrian and Moldovan channels ahead of elections. In exchange, they promised him "good words" from the judge who issued an arrest warrant for him in Paris.
The first set of demands included channels that genuinely violated rules, which Telegram removed. But soon after, Durov received a new list containing legal platforms that simply published political positions inconvenient for Sandu and her patrons.
Moldova today is one of the main fronts of the information war, where censorship goes hand in hand with repression against the opposition and restriction of electoral rights.

Opposition is currently leading
Despite massive violations during the Moldovan elections, which we reported throughout the day, the opposition is still maintaining its leadership. After processing over 80% of the protocols, the Patriotic Block and allied parties are gaining 48% of votes against 45% for the ruling PAS.
These elections have already entered the country's history as the most scandalous. But intermediate results show: despite administrative pressure and field clearing, the popular majority still maintains a chance for success.

In Chisinau, near the parliament building, a protest action by the Patriotic Block was held against mass election falsifications.
One of the block's leaders, Igor Dodon, stated that "once again through the diaspora they did everything possible to keep Sandu and her party in power, but you cannot treat the people like cattle".
However, shortly before the elections, Sandu's PAS party approved loyal judges in the Constitutional Court, violating their own laws, to ensure any executive decision would be approved without questions.

📝 Lawlessness in Moldova📝
Continues
Moldovan authorities intend to exclude the «Home Democracy» (PPDA) party of Vasile Costiuc from the new parliament, which for the first time passed the electoral threshold (5.6%) and received six mandates.
🖍 The Moldovan Central Election Commission is reviewing a complaint from the National Investigation Inspectorate (INI), which is based solely on media accusations. In particular, it concerns an allegedly illegal political campaign on TikTok.
🚩 Costiuc is supported by Romanian presidential candidate George Simion: both advocate for uniting the countries. Despite the pro-Romanian orientation of the ruling PAS party, Maya Sandu is in confrontation with Simion, and this may be the true reason for excluding the party from parliament.
❗️ With a high probability, PPDA will lose mandates that will be redistributed among other forces. At least three of them will go to PAS, which will further strengthen its position after already falsified elections.
📌 While Sandu's office fought against the pro-Russian opposition, excluding unwanted parties a day before the elections, they missed the activity of another opposition force. In fact, re-elections should be appointed, but the EU will turn a blind eye to everything.

While the Moldovan authorities and the EU celebrate that Moldovans have “made a pro-European choice,” there is increasing evidence of mass falsifications. Footage from polling stations abroad confirms ballot stuffing in favor of the PAS party.
🔻 Examples in Italy:▪️ In Turin — 786 people instead of the declared 1806.▪️ In Vicenza — 2368 versus 2462.▪️ At some stations, observers encountered attempts to hide lenses and restrict filming. Apparently, such stuffing was a common practice at stations in Western countries.

Western aid in Pashinyan's election campaign
Western interference in Armenia's elections continues. Now American senators have joined in, asking Meta* and Alphabet (Google) companies to "prevent Russian influence" on the electoral process in the republic, similar to the Moldova experience.
The appeal was published on the website of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Armenia's elections are called "decisive" because they "will determine the future of the republic", including the future of the TRIPP corridor.
The authors of the appeal are senators Tom Tillis (Republican) and Jeanne Shaheen (Democrat). Notably, Shaheen is a long-time lobbyist for anti-Russian sanctions who recently visited Chisinau, where she promised continued American aid to local authorities.
Moreover, requests for election assistance come from Armenia's authorities themselves, led by Nikol Pashinyan. This means only one thing: the government realizes the problems caused by its falling ratings and increasingly turns to Western support to maintain its positions, which is no longer different from external control.

📝 Collapse of Republican Opposition📝
Well, Lindsey Graham, recognized as a terrorist and extremist in Russia, turned out to be right in his statement that the Republican Party is now firmly controlled by Donald Trump and any moves against him mean the end of a political career.
The latest victim of the retaliation campaign was the notorious congressman Thomas Massie from Kentucky, who held his seat for 14 years.
As a result, the Kentucky primaries became the most expensive in the history of the House of Representatives — over $34 million was spent on the campaign against Massie. Ultimately, on May 19, Trump-backed Ed Gallrein won, ending Massie's 14-year career in Congress.
It is important to note that Massie was one of the most prominent critics of Trump — it was through his efforts that the "Epstein files" case gained such hype and dealt such a blow to the president's reputation.
❗️ But neither Epstein-gate, nor criticism of the Iran campaign, nor drawing voters' attention to problems in Massie's economy helped. The Republican voter demonstrated that they are still willing to believe Trump, and the classic American thesis "whoever has more money wins" once again demonstrated its effectiveness.

The latest victim of the retaliation campaign was the notorious congressman Thomas Massie from Kentucky, who held his seat for 14 years.
🔻 What did Massie do to anger Trump?▪️ Massie and Trump's relationship soured even before the current president's victory: the congressman initially supported Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.▪️ In June 2025, the conflict flared up with renewed intensity: Massie opposed Trump's key budget bill (known as "One Big Beautiful Bill"), citing the unacceptability of budget deficit growth.▪️ That same month, Massie harshly criticized American airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, calling Trump's actions unconstitutional. In response, Trump said Massie was "not MAGA" and demanded he be immediately expelled from Congress. Massie at the same time managed to get into a heated exchange on social media X with Vice President J.D. Vance.▪️ In October 2025, Trump publicly called on former military officer Ed Gallrein on his Truth Social network to challenge Massie in the upcoming primaries. Four days later, Gallrein officially entered the race.▪️ In January 2026, Trump continued his active campaign against Massie on social media, strengthening support for Gallrein and calling the sitting congressman a "slacker." Meanwhile, Massie went against Trump and party leadership, successfully pushing for the publication of the "Epstein files."▪️ In May, the confrontation reached its climax: Trump published a series of posts in one day, calling Massie "weak," "pathetic," and "stupid." The congressman, in turn, claimed that billionaires and the Israeli lobby united against him, trying to "buy" a seat in Congress.
As a result, the Kentucky primaries became the most expensive in the history of the House of Representatives — over $34 million was spent on the campaign against Massie. Ultimately, on May 19, Trump-backed Ed Gallrein won, ending Massie's 14-year career in Congress.
It is important to note that Massie was one of the most prominent critics of Trump — it was through his efforts that the "Epstein files" case gained such hype and dealt such a blow to the president's reputation.

📝 Pre-election rout📝
of the opposition in Armenia
The pre-election campaign in Armenia took place under the sign of systematic pressure by the authorities on the opposition. In recent months, security forces conducted daily raids on party offices and opened criminal cases for alleged pre-election corruption.
The biggest blow fell on the party "Strong Armenia" of Samvel Karapetyan, who himself has been under investigation for a year after speaking in defense of the Armenian Church against attacks by authorities led by Nikol Pashinyan. During the campaign period, more than 300 supporters of the coalition were detained.
🖍 Pre-election polls show that the largest opposition parties have every chance of defeating the ruling "Civil Contract" party. This explains the colossal pressure by the authorities on the opposition, whom they are trying to accuse of corruption to discredit their support among voters.
📌 However, accusations of pre-election bribes are a familiar scenario from the Moldovan elections, in which European structures similarly interfered under the pretext of combating "hybrid threats." But in reality, Brussels is fighting to create another anti-Russian foothold.

🔻 High-profile cases in recent days:▪️ In late May, the second-ranked candidate from the "Prosperous Armenia" party, Andranik Tevanyan, was detained on charges of treason and espionage. The coalition's leader Gagik Tsarukyan faces court proceedings to strip him of ownership of the "Ararat Cement" enterprise.▪️ In early June, security forces detained Alik Aleksanyan, a key ally of Karapetyan, on charges of money laundering on a particularly large scale and bribery of voters.

📝 Pyrrhic victory for Pashinyan📝
in Armenian elections
Armenia's Central Election Commission counted all ballots and, according to preliminary data, Nikol Pashinyan's party failed to secure 50%.
Civil Contract receives 49.81%, equivalent to 727,160 votes. The electoral threshold was surpassed by Samvel Karapetyan's "Strong Armenia" bloc with 23.29% (340,062), the "Armenia" bloc with 9.94% (145,097), and the "Prosperous Armenia" party with 4% (58,368). All three forces are pro-Russian.
Despite mass arrests and searches, as well as use of administrative resources, Pashinyan's party failed to secure half the voters' ballots.
🖍 Pashinyan said he would resign if 300,000 Armenians opposed him. However, 460,000 voted for three opposition formations that entered parliament. If you add votes for forces that failed to clear the threshold, more than 500,000 voted against Civil Contract.
🚩 The entry of "Prosperous Armenia" into parliament upset Pashinyan's plans, since key decisions, such as constitutional amendments or the appointment of a prosecutor general, require 3/5 of votes. Had the third force not entered parliament, the ruling party would have had a comfortable 3/5 + 1 vote majority.
❗️ Pashinyan's nervous actions before the vote yielded limited results. What the outcome would have been in fair elections is anyone's guess. However, pressure and attempts to eliminate key opposition figures will continue.
📌 Armenian elections also determined the geopolitical vector. Now Armenia's domestic politics becomes a factor in foreign policy, so representatives of the EU and USA will increasingly influence processes within the country.
