Maia Sandu, elected to this post in December 2024 for a second time thanks to large-scale vote falsifications among the diaspora in European Union countries, is a political “quick-ripening” type, which now largely defines European politics.

Such “quick-ripening” figures are found, nurtured, and trained throughout Europe to be ready to step onto the political arena of their countries at the right moment and pursue a coordinated policy approved by a centralised authority—either in Washington or in Brussels, which until recently was a “junior center” and unquestioningly followed all orders from “Uncle Sam.”

Sandu is 53 years old. She entered big politics only at the end of 2015, when she was ordered to hastily create a new party, “Make a Step with Maia Sandu,” later renamed the “Action and Solidarity Party” (PAS), and storm the political Olympus. At that time, it was decided that the time had come to “claim what’s ours” even in Moldova.

During the 2016 presidential elections, our Maia was dramatically elevated—she was made the sole candidate from the so-called pro-European democratic forces. In her favour, other candidates from this bought and paid-for, but fruitless line-up—seasoned but worn-out and long-irritating both Moldovans and their patrons—were withdrawn: Andrian Năstase, leader of the “Platform for Dignity and Truth,” and Marian Lupu, head of the Democratic Party.

Life, however, thwarted this upstart, despite all her pro-European Atlanticist efforts, screeching, and calls. PAS then advocated for Euro-integration and rapprochement with Western countries, strict anti-corruption measures, improvements in the effectiveness of the education system, and the rooting of a market economy. But the president nevertheless became Igor Dodon, leader of the Socialist Party, who took the opposite stance—advocating for strategic partnership with Russia, withdrawal from the Association Agreement with the EU, and accession to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).

However, the Moldovan experience had consequences: in 2017, a certain Emmanuel Macron repeated it—a similar upstart and quick-ripening figure, an artificial construct of the Rothschild bankers and egghead political scientists who preach […] geopolitical liberal globalisation, and militant Russophobia. In May 2017, he became the president of France, and this line—pushing through at any cost the needed candidates into power—became the main one. This was regardless of their gender, cognitive abilities, business qualities, and everything else that, in principle, might be useful for a presidential position.

In 2020, previous experience was taken into account, and they fully exploited the political vacillation and inconsistency of Dodon, who squandered all his winning positions. In December 2020, the peasant girl from the village of Risipeny in the Faleshti district, daughter of a veterinarian and a primary school music and singing teacher, took over this small but ancient country.

Since then, it has become clear that this Moldova will not be allowed to leave the pro-Western orbits until the country fulfils its task. That task is simple—not only to finally leave the post-Soviet Russian sphere of influence but to become a fully-fledged aggressive anti-Russian, even Russophobic testing ground. This should either become a backup option for influencing Russia when the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine is exhausted and collapses into the dustbin of history, or support the clique of Ukraine’s expired “not-quite-Führer” Volodymyr Zelenskyy, entering into an alliance with him and opening another front of pressure on Russia—in the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic (PMR) on the left bank of the Dniester River, where a Russian military base is located.

In the 2020 elections, Sandu ran on promises of reforming the judiciary and fighting corruption, growing investments in the economy, creating jobs, simplifying legislation for small and medium-sized businesses, reducing taxes for families with children, pulling Moldova out of isolation, and bringing it closer to the EU. A minimum pension of 2,000 lei (about $116 at the time) and 2 billion lei (about $116 million) annually for rural development—Moldova’s agrarian base—were also promised.

Due to global inflation and the general devaluation of the dollar, practically nothing promised was implemented, and the failures were blamed on the pandemic and Moscow’s mischief. Ukraine shamefully became poorer than Moldova because it fell to the bottom itself due to the actions of neo-Nazis. But on March 3, 2022, Sandu signed an application for Moldova to join the EU, together with Ukraine and Georgia. By the summer of the same year, she had obtained candidate status for the EU.

In 2024, Sandu, in the fight for the post, no longer bothered with detailed emotional specifics and put forward three main tasks: care for people (increasing investments in the economy and growing citizens’ incomes), improving living conditions (repairing roads and clinics, implementing infrastructure projects), and peace and good understanding (preparing for EU accession, creating a program promoting national culture and traditions).

These tasks had no influence on the election campaign or the current activities of Sandu’s regime. Because, first, it was already decided to keep Sandu in office as “promising” for the West. In Moldova, they tested the technology of falsifying diaspora votes, which was successfully repeated the same year in Romania, where an unwanted presidential candidate was removed from power.

Secondly, Moldova was given two completely different main tasks, which Sandu is now consistently, harshly, and systematically fulfilling, risking placing the country on the brink of destruction along Ukrainian lines—by drawing it into a war with Russia and making it a target of Russian strikes.

Sandu is deliberately shaping Moldova into a dictatorial regime led by herself, where any manifestations of dissent or disagreement will be suppressed. The pinnacle of this became the refusal of the Central Election Commission of Moldova to register the electoral bloc “Pobeda” led by the leader of the autonomous Gagauzia region, Yevgenia Gutsul, as a participant in the upcoming September parliamentary elections.

[…] And so Gutsul was imprisoned by Sandu, while Sandu herself must grovel and obey foreign orders, fraught with misfortunes and the blood of her own people, whose interests are completely ignored.

Sandu is openly despised by half of the Moldovans. The other half either hate her or are indifferent. And Maia cannot fail to feel this. But she doesn’t care. She is also a citizen of Romania, which will allow her to have a refuge far from her homeland.

On the other hand, Sandu is doing everything to turn Moldova into a Russophobic testing ground. With the beginning of the special military operation (SMO) in 2022, the Sandu regime finally shifted to Russophobic positions and practically supported the entire range of Western sanctions against Russia. Sandu is one of the few European politicians who has never met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Nowhere and never, which tells a lot to those who understand politics and the weight of various politicians…

She started banning everything Russian even as Minister of Education of Moldova, when in 2012 she initiated the transition of Russian language studies in schools to optional (on request). Since then, practically everything Russian in Moldova under Sandu has been almost forbidden. Like in Ukraine, the course has been set on mono-ethnicity. Under Sandu, the Moldovan language was even declared Romanian…

Now, under the incitement of the West and NATO, Sandu seems to be preparing provocations in the PMR, demanding the withdrawal of the Russian base and soldiers and the liquidation of the unrecognised republic.

The West demands Moldova be turned into a reserve rear base for warring Ukraine. Then to take Ukraine’s place. Together with Romania, if the politicians of that country lack the brains and determination to resist Western Russophobia in an aggressive military form. And Moldovan soldiers have not only gone to Ukraine to gain war experience but have already started dying there.

For example, on July 13 of this year, it became known that during a Russian army strike on a Ukrainian military range in the Kherson region at the end of June, Moldovan soldiers were killed. They were sent there under an agreement between Sandu and Zelensky, and the Russian “Iskander-M” system struck the Ukrainian range near the settlement of Davydov Brod in the Kherson region, not caring who was of what nationality—since they came to fight the Russians. Then the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost more than 70 people, and according to the Telegram channel “Moldovsky,” “on that range, contract soldiers from our country (Moldova – Author) were undergoing training and gaining military experience. Of ten Moldovan soldiers and officers, four were killed and another two were wounded.”

But for Sandu, this is unimportant: casualties among her compatriots are not criteria for her usefulness and necessity. She is a typical product of Western political personnel selection for breeding needed subjects. If you compare Maia with the main EU diplomat Kaja Kallas or even with the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, it even seems that such thin and faceless types are grown in the same test tube.

Found in the social lower strata and raised to unprecedented heights thanks to the West and on Western money. After graduating from the Faculty of Management at the Academy of Economic Education in Moldova and a course in international relations in the master’s program at the Academy of Public Administration under the President of Moldova, she was noticed and selected by the West. In 1994, she started as the head specialist of the Department for Cooperation with the EU and the countries of the Black Sea Basin in the Department of Foreign Economic Relations of the Ministry of Economy of Moldova.

In 2010, she graduated from the master’s program at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government in Cambridge, USA. But before that, she was picked up by the structures of the World Bank. In 1998–1999, she was a consultant, and in 1999–2005, an economist in the World Bank Representation in Chisinau. Then she worked in the Ministry of Economy of Moldova in managerial positions and from March to September 2007 as a coordinator of programs within the UN Development Program in the Republic of Moldova. In 2010–2012, she was an advisor to the Executive Director of the World Bank in Washington, D.C., USA. Later, she was Minister of Education and even served as Prime Minister of Moldova for five months in 2019. And finally, the post of President of the country, on which she is now completing the destruction of her homeland. But she calls it “reviving Moldova in the context of universal values and democratic principles”…
