"Only true security and a peaceful, united Europe can guarantee each person and every family the confidence to face tomorrow with hope and certainty," Zelenskyy concluded.

Background:

  • The pro-Western Moldovan President Maia Sandu was re-elected for a second term, defeating her opponent, Alexandr Stoianoglo, a candidate from the pro-Russian Party of Socialists, by more than 10 percentage points.
  • After her victory, Sandu said that Moldova was able to show its will, even though it was under an unprecedented attack in the history of the whole of Europe.
  • Maia Sandu won mainly due to strong support from the diaspora. The vote count inside Moldova confirmed that Stoianoglo would have won if the foreign voters had not been counted.
