Moldova's parliamentary election saw a resounding victory for the pro-European Action and Solidarity (PAS) party, securing an unexpected absolute majority. This result signals a strong rejection of Russian influence, with the pro-Russian Patriotic Electoral Bloc performing significantly below expectations. The election is seen as a major defeat for the Kremlin, which reportedly invested heavily in pro-Russian campaigns and efforts to destabilize the country. PAS leader Igor Grosu stated the outcome clearly communicates that Moldova decides its own future, not Russia.
