Russia and the Politics of Fear

Policy Paper: Moldova in Focus

Fear can become an instrument of political coercion. Airspace violations, incidents near borders and attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure create insecurity that can be exploited to weaken support for Ukraine and confidence in Moldova’s European path. In this policy paper, Daniel Vodă examines how this pressure affects Moldova, Romania, Poland and the Baltic states, while distinguishing clearly attributed Russian operations from the broader spillover effects of the war and cases where responsibility remains uncertain. The paper pays particular attention to Moldova’s preparedness for winter 2026–2027, including energy security, contingency planning for possible additional arrivals from Ukraine and the need to sustain solidarity between refugees and host communities. It argues that practical protection and credible public communication must work together through faster warnings, shared incident assessments, reliable essential services, prepared reception capacity and evidence-based communication. The central message: fear loses its political power when citizens can see that institutions are capable of protecting them. European integration becomes more credible when European cooperation delivers greater security in everyday life.

The Final Target Is Trust

Policy Paper: Moldova in Focus

Moldova has become one of Europe’s clearest tests of democratic resilience. Recent elections took place under sustained pressure from illicit financing, foreign interference, cyberattacks, disinformation and organised attempts to influence voters. Yet citizens continued to vote, institutions adapted and the democratic order held. In this policy paper, Daniel Vodă draws seven lessons from Moldova’s experience and argues that the country should be seen not only as a recipient of European support, but also as a source of operational knowledge for protecting democracies across Europe. The paper shows that interference often begins with genuine societal vulnerabilities, that disinformation is only the visible surface of a broader influence infrastructure, and that democratic defence must begin long before an election campaign starts. It calls for faster cooperation among democracies, stronger action against illicit political finance, sustained support for independent media, and long-term investment in credible institutions and civic resilience. The central message is clear: the ultimate target of foreign interference is not merely information. It is trust — the infrastructure on which democracy depends.

One such moment took shape at the end of March 2026 in the Republic of Moldova, when scholarship holders of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung's Sur-Place program from eleven countries came together to discuss a topic that unites them – and, at the same time, challenges them: European identity.
