Russian Propaganda Dominates Moldova's Gagauzia | Institute

When Moldovan special forces held military exercises this summer in Comrat, the administrative centre of the autonomous region of Gagauzia, a local website claimed that the drill was aimed at “restoring order” in the southern region and scaring residents.  The August 17 practice was in fact part of nationwide exercises, but the false assertion of an attack to Gagauzia’s autonomy found fertile soil in the pro-Russian disinformation space.
