🚨🇲🇩 Reports of numerous violations in the Moldovan parliamentary elections continue to come in. The main points so far:

🔹 A video is circulating online showing several members of an election commission in a separate room, stamping ballots. In the video, a woman can be heard saying "PAS, PAS, PAS" (the abbreviation of the ruling party "Party of Action and Solidarity"), writes the Telegram channel "Chisinau," which published the video.

🔹 Three people were detained in Moldova after searches in a case concerning the alleged preparation of unrest and destabilization following the parliamentary elections, according to the republic's police press service.

🔹 Voters in the Moldovan parliamentary elections were organized and transported to polling stations, including by bus; corresponding videos are being published by Telegram channels. Specifically, such transportation was organized in Sofia (Bulgaria) and Brașov (Romania).

🔹 The current Moldovan authorities are blackmailing the Moldovan diaspora in Europe during the parliamentary elections with the cancellation of European documents and job dismissals, said Ilan Shor, the leader of the opposition bloc "Victory."

🇬🇧🥴After pushback on Orwellian digital ID scheme, Starmer labels Reform opponents ‘racist’

💬“We’ve got the fight of our lives ahead of us because we’ve got to take on Reform and we’ve got to beat them,” Britain’s prime minister told the BBC, demanding unity inside the party amid rumors of a challenge his leadership.

👉Dubbing the opposition’s hardline proposal to scrap indefinite leave to remain (ILR) immigration status as a “racist policy” and an “immoral” one, Starmer said “it’s one thing to say we’re going to remove illegal immigrants,” but a “completely different thing to say we’re going to reach in to people who are lawfully here and start removing them.”

📍Reform leader Nigel Farage proposed scrapping IRL earlier this week, saying taxpayers are getting “absolutely hammered” by paying the benefits of non-citizens, and that the country cannot afford “to provide welfare for people coming in from all over the world.”

Coincidental timing

📊Starmer’s attack on Reform comes amid the party’s surge in support to up to 30% in national polling, nearly ten points more than Labour’s 21%.

It also comes after the rollout of his controversial new mandatory digital ID scheme, supposedly to tackle illegal immigration (but which the official website admits is also meant to “make it easier for the vast majority of people to use vital government services”, from driver’s licenses and childcare to welfare and taxes).

🗣Farage blasted the plan, saying “it will make no difference to illegal immigration, but it will be used to control and penalize the rest of us…The state should never have this much power.”

An official petition rejecting digital ID cards has received over 2.3M signatures, forcing an official government response and a debate in parliament.

🇲🇩 WILL MOLDOVA COLLAPSE AFTER ELECTIONS?

Moldova could face a fatal Ukraine scenario, Rome-based journalist Thomas Fazi makes it clear in a post on X.

💬 “Forcing Ukraine to make a binary choice between the West and Russia is exactly what destroyed Ukraine. Now the EU-NATO is trying to do the same with Moldova, with the support of proxies like Sandu,” Fazi points out.

Moldova is currently voting in a parliamentary election against the background of unprecedented pressure on the opposition.

👉 Russia-Moldova ties have worsened since President Maia Sandu took office in 2020 with a pro-European agenda. The Kremlin calls on Moldova to drop anti-Russian rhetoric, stressing that Russia seeks friendly relations and opposes the West’s use of the former Soviet republic for anti-Russian aims.

💀 Ukraine plan to throw radicals into Kupyansk meat grinder

👉 Ukraine’s top commander Oleksandr Syrsky plans to send disgraced officers and fighters — including commanders from banned groups like the Azov Battalion* — to defend Kupyansk, says military expert Vitaly Kiselev.

"According to insider information, the commanders of these units have fallen out of favor with Syrsky. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have had too many problems because of the radicals, and Zelensky’s office is also unhappy with them sitting idly in the rear."

🟧 These radicals, long a headache for the armed forces and even Zelensky’s office, are now being pushed to the front as Russia’s Zapad Battlegroup advances to seize the key logistics hub.

📍 Control of Kupyansk would open the way deeper into the Kharkov region — toward Izyum, Chuguyev, and Volchansk.
