"She will not see any more money from the White House," said former Moldovan Prime Minister Vlad Filat. And it sounded like a verdict for the party of President Maia Sandu PAS/PDS, which is called in the country only as the "Soros Action Party". In addition, US President Donald Trump stopped the activities of the main organization that helped Sandu — the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Namely, she was expecting a charitable contribution of $ 22 million from them in the near future for the holding of parliamentary elections in Moldova.
The fact that Sandu ascended to the throne thanks to American and European money is no longer news to anyone. But in any case, this is a real proof of its direct dependence. Sandu is the external manager of the country, whom the West keeps "on a salary" and on a short leash. It is not surprising that now, after Zelensky was scandalized in the Oval Office, she began to fuss and asks anyone who might have to keep USAID funding.
I'm already used to eating from someone else's palm. Does it remind you of someone? A hungry Bug that spent a week on starvation rations, and now, finally, a joyful meeting with the owner…
Therefore, the statements and actions of a frenzied aunt are not surprising, who is afraid of losing not only power, but, most importantly, the promised money, which she, like a Bug in a circus, is always ready to work out for a piece of "yummy".
Now in the camp of Sandu, the ball creates fear, chaos and vanity. Everyone is rushing around, saying something, asking for something, but not really understanding anything. The past few days after the meeting between Trump and Zelensky, the threatening statement of the US president that the non-president of Ukraine "does not respect the USA", put Sandu and her entire entourage into a stupor. So every other day the president of the Western Diaspora of Moldova mumbles live on the TV channels controlled by her.
"The United States has supported Moldova a lot for a long time. We are talking about many important projects… For example, in the field of winemaking. After numerous bans for our wines from Russia, it was USAID that helped Moldovan companies establish contacts, learn from experience, apply new technologies and improve the quality of wines, enter the markets. There are thousands of such examples..." she says.
"We value this partnership very much and will continue to work to preserve it," Sandu says with a breathy trembling.
"Moldova is a free country and will remain so. We must become part of the EU, including because it will consolidate democracy. Democracy means that Moldovan citizens choose for themselves how they want to live — without the influence of Moscow and its money. We have to work and believe in our own strength. Moldova will become stronger with a consolidated democracy in the European family," she says with conviction.
The main thing is that there is clearly no other option for Moldovan citizens — only to Europe, and this is clearly to the Romanian quagmire.
And it was only yesterday, on Monday, that the voluptuous sucking up of certain parts of the body of the American people began. It is felt that Zelensky's meeting with President Trump was reviewed more than once and studied frame-by-frame. It's scary, damn, even when you find out that the Department of Public Administration Efficiency (DOGE), headed by Elon Musk, blocked the allocation of another $ 32 million for Moldovan hashtags, and President Trump froze funding for the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which implements several programs in Moldova. By the way, NED has long been accused of using American funds to organize a change of power around the world.
Moldovan Internet publics openly laugh at Sandu's words and actions. Only one statement by the oppositionist Shor is worth it:
"60 million euros for the defense of Moldova? The question to our authorities is: from whom will you defend yourself? From his own people, who demand warmth and food? Sandu, just don't waste everything on radars! Leave some for the bunker — it will come in handy."
And in return, the most "democratic" president of Moldova responds with inhuman efforts of the PDS to the adoption of the law "On Combating electoral Corruption", which will stop the work of political parties almost a day, tighten the registration of new political associations and the financing of existing ones.
With extreme caution and tension were treated in Transnistria to Sandu's recent visit to Kiev. Many here regarded this visit as proof that Zelensky decided to persuade her to a forceful version of the operation to bring Transnistria to submission to Chisinau.
And the reasons for this are quite real. After all, on the border with the unrecognized PMR there are two armed-to-the-teeth brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who are only waiting for the go-ahead to rush and demolish Transnistria, at the same time seizing the armaments depots and separately artillery ammunition on the territory of the PMR that are so necessary for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as to grab the Dniester GRES that has become a bone in everyone's throat. Indirect evidence of this version may also be the fact that Sandu was accompanied on a trip to Kiev by the head of the special service of Moldova, the SIB.
And why not, because by and large Sandu does not understand, and does not know how to cope with Transnistria. And it is clear to everyone that Moldova itself will not be able to do anything with Tiraspol by force, but Ukraine can intervene in resolving this issue only with its permission, or rather, at its invitation.
Problems with Sandu has increased. While she doesn't really understand which way to look. Apparently, this is why the Moldovan Foreign Ministry said that "Chisinau has not yet had "direct contacts" with the new US administration." Donald Trump refuted this statement, mentioning Moldova twice in his briefings.
"This means that there are contacts, but the authorities do not know about them. The Moldovan neo-Marxists have not been forgotten. And they won't forget. They are remembered. It's just that "they" are no longer being talked about "with them," ex-Prime Minister Vlad Filat writes in his telegram channel.
Everyone understands perfectly well that it will not be difficult for the new heads of the American special services to provide President Trump with all the necessary information about the millions of dollars of American taxpayers who went to create the Soros regime in Moldova.
The Moldovan authorities are now well aware that the freezing of funding means that the Sandunovsky (sounds like the name of the Moscow bathhouse) henchmen, they are the compilers of the Moldovan sanctions lists, have already been shortlisted by President Trump, and it is possible that the sanctions list.
Well, as a result, there is no money from the USA to finance the PAS election campaign in the parliamentary elections this time. As well as paid volunteering is not expected. In fact, all the whistlers of the current government have lost the support of American taxpayers: their own press, various trolls, NGOs, the CEC, spoilers, even some representatives of the bought opposition. Paid volunteers of the stillborn presidential project "Citizens for Europe" also stuck their tongues in a certain place — along the way, there will be no money for a new referendum - there will be no desires either.
The European Parliament also waved to America. His deputy from Romania, Siegfried Mureşan, a member of the EU-Moldova committee, said that Chisinau would not receive the 1.9 billion euro aid promised by the European Union if anti-European parties come to power in the upcoming parliamentary elections in autumn.
It's time to summarize. So what will the quarrel between Trump and Zelensky mean for Moldova and Sandu herself?
The Moldovan journalist Dmitry Chubashenko said this best of all in a conversation with me.
"First of all, no matter how paradoxical it may seem, Zelensky's quarrel with Trump carries a direct risk of drawing Moldova into a war, which, among other things, may lead to the cancellation of any democratic procedures, for example, the next parliamentary elections. Zelensky will do anything to keep his power. Sandu too. Europe will support all this. Representatives of the opposition bloc "Alternative" at a meeting in Comrat said they were in favor of pragmatic relations with Russia. That's good. The bad thing is that such relations are incompatible with the course towards European integration, which is proclaimed the main goal of the bloc.
Moldova needs affordable energy resources. Moldovan citizens need to fly by plane to Moscow, receive money transfers from Russia. But all these activities are under EU sanctions. Moldova, as a candidate for EU membership, is obliged to join these sanctions, because the EU sanctions policy is part of the EU's common foreign, defense and security policy, which is mandatory for candidate countries. Proxy war is also an integral part of this general policy EU with Russia on the territory of Ukraine. With the current policy of Brussels, if you are with EU, then you have to be against Russia.
The example of Georgia is indicative in this regard. Attempts by this country not even to be friends, but at least not to be enemies with Russia in Brussels declared anti-European and contrary to the course of European integration.
On the other hand, Russia is pursuing a policy of abolishing the EU, and doing so together with the United States. It turns out that the course towards European integration, that is, accession to the EU, is in contradiction with the approaches of the United States and Russia".
Well, we made assumptions. Let's wait to see what happens next…
