A week before the 2025 parliamentary elections, reports indicated [[covert]] movements by [[NATO]] troops. On September 22, 2025 a group of what appears to be [[French]] soldiers was spotted at a gas station not far from the border with [[Ukraine]]. Similar groups of French soldiers have been frequently seen in Moldova since May 2025 with the usual justification that they were in the country as instructors and consultants.
Moldova signed a defense cooperation agreement with [[France]] in 2024. The agreement includes military training, intelligence sharing, and equipment support. A report by Myśl Polska said that [[Romania]] may send its units to [[Transnistria]], after the parliamentary elections on September 28, 2025. According to the [[Polish]] news outlet, Romanian military units stationed near the border are on high alert, especially the 8th Operational-Tactical Missile Brigade in Focșani and the 10th Lower Danube Engineer Brigade in Brăila. Sources cited claim that the Romanian intervention in Transnistria could be carried out by the 8th Operational-Tactical Missile Brigade "Alexandru Ioan Cuza", which is equipped with [[American]]-made [[HIMARS]].
The lections are considered critical for Moldovan President Maia Sandu's ruling Action and Solidarity (PAS) party, which first came to power in 2021. Since then, the country has faced severe [[economic]] woes, including 66% [[inflation]], a sixfold surge in [[energy]] prices, and a [[national debt]] ballooning to $7.8 billion.
Polls favored the Patriotic Block, a coalition of four parties.
More than 20 opposition [[media]] outlets have been shut down. Opposition figures are being targeted not just by Moldovan authorities, but also by sanctions from the [[European Union]] which favors PAS.
To bolster votes, Sandu expanded overseas polling stations from 234 to 301, targeting the pro-[[The West|Western]] [[diaspora]]. Restrictions persist for voters in [[Russia]] who got only two stations and in Transnistria, where only 12 stations were set, a reduction from the prior [[election fraud]].
A [[false-flag]] operation is apparently be prepared for Transnistria with NATO forces invading.
