Summary

Maia Sandu, the pro-western incumbent, has won a second term in the Moldovan presidential election, defeating the Russia-leaning Alexandr Stoianoglo.

The outcome is seen as a significant boost for Moldova’s EU aspirations and a clear rebuke to Moscow. Despite accusations of Russian interference, Sandu’s victory will be welcomed in Brussels, while Ukraine will breathe a sigh of relief.
