⚡️The Economist maps Russia’s hybrid-warfare attacks across Europe.

Russia tried to organise a well publicised protest rally against the election results in Moldova. The BBC says only a few dozen turned up and police say many of those were paid. They love free speech so much of course, but when a guy shouted #SlavaUkraïni he was attacked!

⚡ Ukrainian journalist and human rights defender Maksym Butkevych has been awarded the 2025 Vaclav Havel Prize. He is the first Ukrainian to receive the award. Earlier, UkraineWorld had an interview with Maksym, who spent over two years in Russian captivity: ukraineworld.org/en/podcasts/...

MOSCOW, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Russia said on Monday that it would carefully analyse whether any U.S. Tomahawk missiles that might be supplied to Ukraine were fired using targeting data supplied by the United States. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

❗️russia practically officially admits to torturing people: putin signed a law that russia is withdrawing from the European Convention on the Prevention of Torture

People of Moldova; Thank you. You are a beacon of hope today. Through the misinformation, the interference, the pressure; YOU, the people, showed up and made a choice, not only for your own security, but for all of Europe. Thank you. Truly. Thank you 🙏🏼🇲🇩

Poland says that the Russian suicide drones that intruded Poland’s airspace were equipped with extra fuel tanks to extend their range and make it possible for them to penetrate deep into Poland. Poland also made it clear the intrusions weren’t accidental.

Congrats to Moldova!!! Russia threw everything to destabilize the election and failed spectacularly. Democracy won 🙌🏼

Moldova's ruling pro-EU party is tantalisingly close to winning he parliamentary election outright. With almost all votes counted, the large diaspora has again proved decisive. With not all parties passing the threshold, it seems Sandu's PAS will not need tricky negotiations.

Ukraine says it will take action against "reporters" who visited occupied territories on a Russian organised 'press' tour. One America News Network was represented along with media and ex-politicians from Czechia, Slovakia and Bangladesh. Attending this is not journalism, it's collaboration.

My takeaway is this - put women in charge. Moldova election 💪

I'm really happy, for Moldova, and for Europe! I'll be glad to welcome them to the EU, along with Ukraine, and hopefully Georgia soon as well!

With 79% of the diaspora vote counted (of which 78% is voting for PAS), and 97% of the overall vote counted, PAS is now winning 49% of the vote. I think they’ll cross the 50% threshold.

Pro-EU party leads in Moldova election as votes are counted #Ukraine

Given all the shootings in Utah Why doesn't the Republican Gestapo go there? Red States want to make their streets Iraq they would be welcomed as liberaters right?

Congratulations Sandu!! What a leader!! 🇲🇩 ❤️‍🔥 🇲🇩 Moldova takes on the mighty Russian Empire, with it’s thugs & it‘s dirty tricks brigade, and wins!! Ha! What did Putin get for his 400 million euros? Nothing. What an absolute humiliation for the Kremlin.

This is not a nail biter at all!! Maia Sandu’s pro-EU party will win the Moldovan parliamentary elections 🎉 PAS will very likely be able to form a majority government with just under 50% of the vote. Almost all pro-Moscow votes have been counted. pv.cec.md/preliminare

🔥 Ukrainian Defense Forces hit the Karachevsk Electrodetal plant in the Bryansk region with a missile strike.

Because this speaker is absolutely right about Antifa, Trump is going to equate Antifa with any person and organization that opposes his tyranny, which means that he will be targeting all of us with government action that looks like it will include military action. This is what fascism looks like.

🚨 Zelensky said intelligence confirms the Russians are using their "civilian" tanker ships to launch and control military drones against European countries. Calls for the Baltic Sea and other seas to be closed to Russian tankers.

May they all reach their target and help bring the Moscow regime down for good!

Here's the official Moldova results site: pv.cec.md/preliminare PAS (The pro Europeans) are at 45%. Important to note that the diaspora votes come in last, and they tend to be strongly pro Europe. Chisinau, the capital is also not in yet, and tends to be pro European.

The Pro-European PAS party has secured 51 seats, an absolute majority in Moldova’s parliament. A good result and a slap in the face for Putin.

Also worth noting that a significant chunk of votes are going to various small parties that won't reach the threshold for any seats. I'm unclear on the exact numbers, but something like 9% of votes won't produce seats. Which would mean 45% plus might be enough for a majority of seats. Hopeful!

I think the good guys have done enough to win. Here's a nice summary: moldova1.md/p/58270/mold... And again the official stats site: pv.cec.md/preliminare

Update 🇲🇩 1,357,410 out of 1,603,682 have been counted, so approximately 84% of the votes:

A UK conservative MP lost his seat and went to Ukraine to fight at the frontline. What a story. The Times: Jack Lopresti, 56, lost his UK Conservative MP seat in 2024. 0/

Another battle in today’s confrontation between the West and Russia was the battle for a European and democratic Moldova. Moscow threw enormous weight behind its attempt to influence elections in Moldova - yet another arena of hybrid warfare. We are still awaiting the official results

👀 Ukrainian military and bloggers hints that Russians found Sapsan missile fragments.

Wow. I'm watching a Moldovan TV channel and can't believe they're running ads against anti-EU propaganda. All decent TV stations in the EU should be doing this. Good job, tv8.md!

There is speculation that Ukraine used HIMARS GMLRS missiles to strike the Belgorod Heat and Power Plant and two electrical substations in Russia across the border. If true, Ukraine received explicit permission for the strikes from the US administration. 👍
