Elections in Moldova
On Sunday, November 3, the second round of the presidential election is taking place in Moldova. The current leader of the country, Maia Sandu (a pro-European candidate), and former Prosecutor General Alexandr Stoianoglo (supported by the pro-Russian Party of Socialists) are running for the presidency.
In the first round, Sandu won 42.45% of the vote, while her opponent received 25.98%. The expert commented on RBC-Ukraine's YouTube channel on the eve of the vote, saying that it was too early to talk about Sandu's landslide victory.
Today's vote will set the tone for next year's parliamentary elections.
Moldova accuses Russia of interfering in the presidential election and trying to disrupt the vote.
