Russian state media amplifies Moldovan pro-Russia politician's energy rhetoric

Sputnik Moldova, a Russian state-controlled outlet, has amplified statements by Artiom Guriev, vice-president of the Moldovan formation 'Patrioții Moldovei', on Telegram channels without editorial comment. The statements, favorable to Russia on the energy sector, indicate a coordinated information operation targeting Moldova. This continues a pattern of Russian influence efforts in Moldova, but the lack of editorial framing suggests a deliberate amplification strategy.
