Part 6/8:
Moldova presents a contrasting narrative as the majority of its citizens express a preference for pursuing closer ties with the European Union, rather than leaning towards Russia’s Eurasian Union. Recent surveys indicate that 61.4% of Moldovans support EU accession, while only 38.1% are in favor of joining the Eurasian bloc. This shift in public opinion highlights Moldova's desire for greater autonomy and integration with Western Europe, reflecting a broader trend among former Soviet states to seek alternative alliances outside of Russian influence.
