LONDON, September 23. /TASS/. Western media are baselessly promoting a narrative of Russian interference in Moldovan elections, the Russian embassy in London said in a statement following the release of a BBC investigation into Moscow's alleged malicious activities.
"Since 2020, when so-called pro-European forces came to power in the Republic of Moldova, their policies have led to serious economic problems. Public dissatisfaction with the government's policies is increasingly in sight. This was evident, in particular, in the 2024 presidential elections and the referendum on the country's accession to the European Union. Instead of admitting their own mistakes and listening to the public opinion, leaders in Chisinau, encouraged by the support of Western patrons, have decided to brainwash citizens with rhetoric about an alleged 'Russian threat.' Meanwhile, they attribute internal problems to external interference," it says.
"Leading Western media outlets are eagerly participating in promoting this narrative. In particular, the BBC recently published an investigation into allegedly 'malicious' Russian activities in Moldova. Its authors contacted the embassy for comment, and we prepared detailed, fact-based responses to the accusations. However, these replies were not reflected in the final report," the statement reads.
