Tens of thousands of Moldovans rallied in the capital Chisinau on Sunday to support their pro-Western government's drive towards Europe amid what officials have said are Russian efforts to destabilise their country.
Moldova has been badly hit by the impact of Moscow's invasion of neighbouring Ukraine, which Chisinau has repeatedly condemned, and applied to join the European Union.
"Moldova does not want to be blackmailed by the Kremlin," Sandu said at the rally, which was organised by her government and packed a central square."We don't want to be on the outskirts of Europe anymore," she said, pledging that Moldova would become an EU member by 2030. "This is about the both of us: You will bring a piece of Moldova to Europe, and you will make Europe stronger," she said.
