Moldovan voters at polling stations in Moscow are being handed "invitations" to a restaurant, with claims that the event is organized by the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova. Embassy representatives have denied these claims in a discussion with IPN, calling the information false.

According to witnesses who spoke with the IPN news agency, the flyers are distributed near polling stations, and recipients are told that the event is supported by the embassy. However, the Moldovan Embassy has categorically denied any involvement in these actions.



Additionally, voters are being offered "Moldovan Citizen Cards" for use in the Russian Federation, issued by a center associated with fugitive oligarch Ilan Șor. These cards supposedly provide access to various free services, including internet and certain facilities at a Russian bank.

The situation is marked by long queues in front of two polling stations in Moscow, which formed even before the stations opened. Currently, voters in line are being offered free coffee, although the source of this initiative remains unknown.



Various sources, including from within the Moldovan Embassy in Moscow, have told IPN that these activities may be organized by the "Cultural-Educational Center of Moldova," a center not directly associated with Ilan Șor but reportedly funded by the oligarch, according to the press.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has suggested that the queues in Moscow may be the result of organized mass transportation of voters.
