In what is becoming a contentious political issue, Moldova's election has been questioned by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, who claims the outcome shows an unexplained surge in votes for President Maia Sandu and the EU.

The narrow victory, with 50.17% supporting EU membership, indicates a deeply divided electorate amid high-stake decisions.
