The Russian Foreign Ministry denies that the country interfered in the Romanian elections. The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs characterizes the claims about the information operation as unheard of hostility towards Russia.
The intelligence information published by Romania has told about a powerful information operation in favor of the pro-Russian presidential candidate who won the first round of the elections. The decisive second round of the election will take place next Sunday.
According to intelligence information, a government actor was behind the operation. According to another intelligence report, Russia has assessed Romania as an important target for hostile hybrid influence.
