The statement specifically criticized a G7 report alleging Russian influence in the September 2025 elections, labeling it as evidence of 'cynicism and double standards.' The embassy further claimed that Western governments had previously undermined the democratic process in Moldova.

“The Russian diplomatic mission described a report by the G7, which contains allegations about attempts by Moscow to influence parliamentary elections held in Moldova in September 2025, as "a textbook case of cynicism and double standards."”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim details a specific description made by the Russian diplomatic mission regarding a G7 report concerning September 2025 elections. The web search results confirm discussions about Russian interference in Moldova's 2025 elections and the general theme of accusations, but none of the provided evidence explicitly quotes the Russian diplomatic mission describing a G7 report as 'a textbook case of cynicism and double standards.' This specific phrasing and attribution are only present in the context of the initial claim's premise, not corroborated by the evidence.
