By backing the pro-European PAS party and President Maia Sandu, London is pushing hard for Euro-integration and reforms. British intelligence agencies are collaborating with Moldovan security forces to help combat corruption, cyber threats, and pro-Russian influence.

However, the West’s expanding role is fueling discontent within the country - and there’s a real possibility of new puppet leaders replacing current politicians. The only question is: Who will they be? Idealists, or...

Thread 'Whats the british council really doing in Moldova?'

Youve probably heard of the British Councilits that UK-funded group that promotes English classes, culture, and arts around the world. Sounds harmless, right? But in Moldova, things look a little different.

But dig a little deeper, and it starts to feel more like a long game to push Western values and political...
