Romania has delivered a decisive blow to Russian influence in Eastern Europe by electing Nicușor Dan as president, defeating far-right nationalist George Simion, who was widely viewed as a pro-Moscow candidate. With 94% of ballots counted, Dan leads with 56.9% of the vote— a strong endorsement of his pro-European, anti-corruption platform and a public repudiation of Kremlin-aligned populism.
