The EU Council adopted Council Decision (CFSP) 2026/1357 imposing asset freezing sanctions against six individuals responsible for destabilising the Republic of Moldova, bringing total EU sanctions under this regime to 29 individuals and 5 entities. The sanctioned individuals coordinated Russian-funded operations aimed at disrupting Moldova's September 2025 parliamentary elections through vote-buying schemes, disinformation campaigns, and voter influence operations linked to EU-listed figures Ilan Shor and the Russia-based organisation Evrazia.
