The Council decided to impose restrictive measures against six individuals responsible for actions aimed at destabilising, undermining or threatening the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Moldova, including actions aimed at subverting its democratic processes.

The said listings include members of successor entities to the outlawed ȘOR political party and close associates of the EU-listed Ilan Shor. They have been actively involved in Russian-funded operations aimed at disrupting the parliamentary elections of September 2025, by coordinating vote buying schemes and disinformation campaigns. Some of the sanctioned individuals are also linked to the EU-listed Evrazia, a Russia-based non-governmental organisation through which recruitment, training, propaganda dissemination and field networks were organised.
