Security forces have conducted nationwide raids to break up a group accused of recruiting young people to incite violence and mass disorder. The arrests coincide with a sustained digital offensive where state services were hit by a cyberattack and a separate attempt to breach personal data involved 11 million requests.
Diplomatic relations have cooled further after the government moved to expel a Russian embassy employee following the detection of a drone in Telenești. Moscow has promised a harsh response to the expulsion.
The domestic economy is feeling the weight of high energy prices, as high natural gas costs drive many households back to using wood-burning stoves. For those with money remaining in the bank, potential interest rate hikes could make deposits more attractive while making the loans to pay for heat more expensive.
