On December 5, Blinken publicly accused Russia of interfering in the Romanian elections, a day after Romania declassified intelligence reports showing a meddling by a foreign state[3][4]. His statement was seen as backing the Romanian government's decision to cancel the election, but there is no direct evidence that he had a personal conversation with the Romanian government on this matter immediately before the cancellation. His statements appear to have been part of a broader public stance taken by the U.S. State Department.
