Moldova says new EU sanctions targeted individuals undermining stability

Moldova's prime minister thanked the European Union on Thursday for imposing sanctions on officials and a group of veterans it said were linked to Russian attempts to destabilise the country through "hybrid war". The European Council announced the punitive measures in Brussels, targeting "six individuals and one entity responsible for actions aimed at destabilising, undermining or threatening the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Moldova". Ex-Soviet Moldova, lying between Ukraine and EU member Romania, has been buffeted by the Kremlin's two-year-old invasion of Ukraine.
