Hundreds of pro-Russian TikTok accounts have been identified in the Czech Republic promoting narratives ahead of upcoming parliamentary elections on October 3-4, 2025, according to Czech analysts from Online Risk Labs. The accounts are boosting radical parties, including SPD and "Enough!", which advocate for the Czech Republic to leave NATO and the EU. Separately, pro-Kremlin groups in Moldova staged protests chanting “Ukraine will not command here,” attacking supporters of Ukraine and a pro-Western course. Czech analysts uncovered 286 TikTok accounts pushing pro-Russian content, with the most visible support directed towards the SPD and "Enough!" parties, Reuters reported. These parties' platforms include calls for withdrawal from NATO and the EU. The elected lawmakers in the Czech Republic will form the government and determine domestic and foreign policy. The protests in Moldova involved individuals shouting anti-Ukraine slogans and confronting those who voiced support for Ukraine and a pro-Western direction. The timing of these Moldovan protests in relation to the Czech election developments was not specified in the new sources. Previous reports indicated ongoing protests in Chisinau, Moldova, led by former president Igor Dodon of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova (PSRM) concerning recent parliamentary election results. The French military's Operation Sentinelle continued in its Western Zone, focused on domestic security, and a German man won 15.3 million euros after finding a forgotten lottery ticket.
