Bill > SRes199

This resolution expresses strong support for Romania and Moldova in their efforts to defend democracy and resist Russian interference. The resolution highlights the two countries' commitment to democratic values, NATO, and European Union integration, despite significant pressure from Russia. It specifically acknowledges Romania's role as a NATO leader, its defense spending, and its support for Ukraine, while also recognizing Moldova's efforts to strengthen its democracy and pursue EU membership. The resolution condemns Russian attempts to undermine democratic processes in both countries, including digital election interference, energy manipulation, and efforts to influence electoral outcomes. It calls on the international community, particularly the European Union, to increase support for Romania and Moldova's democracies, urges the release of a European Commission report on Russian interference in Romania's 2024 presidential election, and calls on the United States government to strengthen bilateral and multilateral engagements to support these countries' sovereignty and election integrity ahead of their 2025 elections.
