The official Chisinau notified Romania and several other European nations on Sunday morning that Russia intends to disrupt voting by Moldovan expatriates at polling stations abroad in Sunday's presidential election, sources in the Prime Minister's office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Police told IPN.

Interlocutors in the three institutions said they had received signals and information that “polling stations in Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Canada, Romania, the U.S. and Britain might be targeted by Moscow for disruption including by bomb hoaxes.”

Reuters also informed of such a message. "The goal is to interrupt the voting process during the (bomb threat) evacuation and check by the police. We kindly ask to apply procedures and protocols that do not interrupt the voting process," a Moldovan message to a European official said, according to a screenshot reviewed by Reuters.
