Russia is meddling in politics in Georgia and Moldova – trying to do by stealth what it is doing by war in Ukraine Amy wrote for The Conversation about the recent votes in the former Soviet states of Georgia and Moldova. They have been dogged by interference from Russian-backed elements. Both countries had previously aspired towards closer ties with western Europe and future membership of the EU. And in both countries there is a strong suggestion of influence from Moscow that could jeopardise those aspirations.
