Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text: CR S2740-2741: 3)
This is a Senate resolution expressing support for Romania and Moldova as they defend their democracies against Russian interference and pressure. The resolution acknowledges that Russia has attempted to undermine both countries through election interference campaigns, energy blackmail, and disinformation—most notably in Romania's 2024 presidential election, where Russian actors used digital campaigns to promote pro-Putin candidates, and in Moldova's 2024 elections and constitutional referendum, where Russia deployed fake bomb threats, vote-buying schemes, and cyber attacks. The resolution calls on the international community and the U.S. government to increase support for these countries' democratic institutions and election integrity ahead of upcoming elections in Romania (May 2025) and Moldova (September 2025 parliamentary elections). The resolution specifically urges the European Union to release full details of Russian interference in Romania's election and the U.S. to strengthen bilateral partnerships with both nations to protect their sovereignty and security. No federal funding or implementation timeline is established, as this is a non-binding expression of congressional support rather than legislation that allocates resources or creates new programs.
