Mihai Mogildea

Mihai Mogildea is the deputy director of the Institute for European Policies and Reforms, a Moldovan think tank focused on promoting European integration. He has been vocal about the Kremlin's unprecedented efforts to influence Moldova's political landscape, estimating that Moscow has spent around $200 million on its election campaign, a significant amount for the small nation. Mogildea emphasizes the need for clear signals from the European Union to assure Moldovans of their country's potential for EU membership, especially in light of the geopolitical tensions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
