"Moldova, today you are victorious. Together, we've shown the strength of our unity, democracy, and commitment to a dignified future. Thank you, dear Moldovans, at home and abroad. Walk with pride—you are freedom, hope, and resilience. I am proud to serve you all," Sandu said on social media platform X.
