President Nicusor Dan said on Monday that NATO, the EU and the UK all confirm that Russia is engaging in cyber attacks, manipulation and disinformation in European states, and emphasized that the Romanian state must provide new evidence as to what happened in the November 2024 presidential vote, as new intelligence emerges."I urge those who still doubt Russia's interference in the November 2024 presidential election in Romania to read the statements below.
