almost a hush after salt break out documentary series of travels to moultrie, which is a nation living in the shadow of the war in ukraine. duncan, can you see what old cars have to do with the production? here's a hands on so much snow on youtube. the a mold as a country in 10 miles. this was the scene in march 2023 for months. people

have taken to the streets in the small republic which borders on ukraine. pro russian and pro european protest has engage in angry stand off. the wall and ukraine has polarized small dive in society. fee is ryan. hi ryan. from the stalled at the was the national of the severe panic. people folks were afraid, it would start happening here too. much but we didn't know what would happen next. mold evans felt threatened. the word was that land was put into the next target. the war is really close things good in badly all the indications are there. how really is the fee and that was great. but so was the willingness to help in an industrial area on the outskirts of the capital case, you know, we visit,

i know totally to cosigns company, the own trip that has been helping ukrainian refugees. as soon as the war began, he sent up a clothing death in his factory following a visit to a border crossing on the very 1st day, the wall that would be, that would be of this to me when we arrived there. i was shocked to see a woman dressed only in a nightgown with a blanket around her that had icicles hanging from it to the site itself. it was snowing and freezing cold. and in the middle of a field of a 40 gap as when you'll do them. uh, i called up friends from my village just because you need this a beautiful piece, but lots of cars shut off from there. and we brought the 1st $300.00 people there which they did, but after 4 days there was no more room from the assembly. we house of them at our place, my mothers and other relative my me close. many in the village stuck in refugee last slid at the origin of the day. i'm not sure, but i should be able to do. a few months after the war began,

his band started to suffer from the after effect. by the fall of 2022 inflation was running at around 70 percent. his company makes machinery to process essential oil plants and his clients in western europe. and that's when it comes out to we signed contracts and calculated our pricing for the $10.00 demik loop. but during the pandemic crisis, rosen and the wars only made things worse. tools metal and electricity costs are twice as much. now we can no longer get by on our calculated budgeting that as a new modem, because the lease is at zillow. originally, the life is also changed radically, but i t x boats and video brianca volva come on to the when the war started, we stopped making music before we made and published music videos with my friends. and now i had a band,

but we haven't sung since the 24th of february 2020 to the now his music videos i'm traveling op. seemed like relics from a foreman line. the wind is life was great before the war. looking at this, i can hardly believe it. why does this have to happen? ya do my films travel logs in moldova and abroad for ages, but since the war broke out, i've lost all desire to do that. why it's since then both on come on off as being more interested in the political situation in moldova. yeah, for the long story i thought that trans, mr. yeah, this to the separatist regent. animal. dover is a bit like the done by so it doesn't matter to you. i wanted to find out if there was a difference between these conflicts and leave them and whether it could lead to such a hatred and war happening here. because you know, just it, those,

that's how this video came about with the document deal. so you still took away putting you through what is trans mystery you want cuz it's a region that broke away from all dove in the 1990 symbol is which is the international community says it belongs to moldova. but nobody has no control over it and tell you in 1992, a war took place fairly enough, but the russian troops had been stationed there ever since. look what, it's all this makes transit history a comparable to other hotspots. and the former soviet union that you don't boss know, go in a car box boss of kazi, a and south of sasha usually is due to lack of the former soviet republics will. does that declared its independence in 1991 the boat as a boat, as to the north east and south from ukraine and to the west on romania. this small country is also one of europe's poorest. on the eastern side of the nice,

the river lies the self declared greatness drove in mo, dave and republic. better known as trends and history and its governed by separatists loyal to moscow. the in case, you know, the motive and capital pro russian governments will to power the most of the last 3 decades. but now mulder has a more you oriented at this stage, the november 2020 miles son do was elected president. the most important campaign promise was to tackle corruption and poverty to the country's most pressing problem. but sanders came to office in difficult circumstances. not just the 2 of them. during this time,

we've had to manage many crises emitted to the college and after the election of the new parliament in the forming of the government, we found ourselves confronted with an energy crisis through city due to rising natural gas prices. exist the she probably make when there are economic and social problems because this war has had several economic repercussions for the republic of moldova significant events, including there's great discontent in the populations. use the nimble to media, but all in total. and the popularity actually among people in rural areas who be most effective, find the want in ukraine, the village up to the rest of the on the west and bang companies to has been home to the chin, a family for generations. elaina 10 a and her sibling suffer from the poverty that's only getting was here and the war is too close for comfort of what the to do this they go to the high met hills not far from here is ukraine. i'm a product along the to somerville clay la,

i hope of seeing you blue. and the only thing you're looking to do is remind we were extremely concerned when the war started, the selection of the likelihood explosions. and the distance concern is to those who knew competitive we were scared, eligibility and had our suitcases packed and ready to of you know, things we didn't know what would happen next, these nice blues of tools and we stuff given user even before hand life, it wasn't always easy living in a defined country as an impact on that daily. nice. when elaina chan a visits preventative, so me out this side of the river must go through the border control the pension and this is the old days. before the land edits, people were separated. the village jump in love she on the opposite

bank with belongs to trenton history, ultimately the oh, okay. so it's a russian speaking village problem with that nearby is throwing ashton models and village. that's how we live with one another, a doing a blue. there was a lot of exchange across the river, even in the winter over the ice. the city, the guy is the ice was so sick that even cars could drive across asian watching towards the in the summer. the people went by boat, car needs to done. it all worked quite well. let them look. you're watching kind of show little of the past with the last 30 years. the reason has served as a border which can only be traversed at specific crossings on the eastern eastern bank and the hall to the san francisco region line. former villages which remain under motive and administration, and tony dickerson comes from this area when he visits his home village of caution

itself. you must also check point stopped by so called russian peacekeepers. you kind of get those as if you really kind of for us, the residents of these villages, the sides of what's annoying to have to drive through here. slowly tmz see even the ultimate because sometimes they perform checks and harass people. give me a good way of, of course, as the check points should have been removed long ago. outage of such that the difficult but a little you are fighting cushion size typical of the republic of all the in the all the ethnic groups in our country are represented by or you can, you look at this in petite authority to publish it as some sort of mindset the most which of these data, many of us raise people in the village were estimating ukrainians. russians use already ongoing carfax, whereas, or by johnny's i, him of, with this day, we live with a variety of ethnic groups, but to move to liquidity city to this is anna totally to cassandra childhood

home. when he was growing up here, most of us do belong to the soviet union to us for as long as he can remember language as being a source of conflict in his country. that might what language to use because a child may ask them to help him with that. with romanian back then it was most open, you know, they wouldn't let us sleep mode open even there were a lot of russians at the factory, but we weren't permitted to speak another language really. and the russians were always putting us down. i used to go to the node will show each just little cut out for noise and to feel what did they say? she'd be a no no, no she but the drawers they called yesterday determined to go go holics up on the map and dirty mode open um. but the animosity goes beyond language,

pull economic conditions of also cause frank mal david's hoped independence would boost the economy. and betcha that lines, but so far they've reached no benefits. using the g to y me a little dazed for it to people are hugely disappointed because we stumbled from one crisis to the next. in the last 30 years, we haven't experienced it to any lengthy period of disability for developmental diet. is she yoke it as a result of people no longer trust the government, no matter whether it's pro european was real russian, it sooner may have been created in at least that says that we see a guide and we'll see the total, let them use quantity of me so used to give them a digital dollar in the design, it is to many people in this area are pro russian leaning. let me look some i think they're being manipulated because they only watch russian to the station normal. even though i have no other explanation energy that then there's disappointment, and the propaganda simply works very well. the of the

holidays, disappointment, and discontent, could be instrumental lives became evident in september 2022. then bus loads of people from across the country arrived in the capital to protest against the pro european government. these demonstrations were financed by the pro russian opposition. attend camp was sent off in front of the parliament for the pay protest as so they could stay around the clock. this afternoon. the crowd suddenly search towards the entrance of the presidential palace. take him onto the resignation of president my ascend. they taunted. we all the people this must. a stop, we the major resignation. resign the, the crown parents,

the pro russian propaganda that it's not the rule that's driving insulation. but the motive in government since my assigned to came to power, we can barely survive prizes of sword. i buy a bottle of keeper and some bread and live on that for 3 days. i knew she shouldn't crawl, depending on her knees. something like a talk rose and beg him, forget your words, hoping that guy who is really for the people we just war, but he doesn't kill any civilians. just keeps on russia and pollutants because i can see that he does everything for the people. i've often been in ukraine and even i haven't seen any acts of war. the war only takes place on t v and facebook. the just how much

outside influence is behind the pro task mode. that as president takes, a plant stands for this, the most loose and the protests we're experiencing today are organized by corrupt people who stolen a lot from this country to go. so they let our land become impoverished id, then sled yet the and now they're using the poor by giving them a bit of the money they've stolen from the market. if we've seen, didn't buy need to go to young. meanwhile, they're leading luxurious lives abroad. and using people to destabilize the situation in this country, disability is received by chance. i'd like to be as politician, eli, i'm sure said to be funding the protest. sure. is it. be my son, who is our president? sure. don't forget you belong in jail. i'm here to defend our government. these folks are paid to be here, been killed their own mother for cash. the

motors and societies divine and the effects of the war becoming increasingly evident in this fall from wealthy country. although that was almost completely reliance on russian gas with rushes, launch the stay down from gas from height to prices while drastically reducing deliveries. last phone it threatened to cut off small davis gas supplying altogether electricity was often in short supply to the patches that the challenge of carrying to the influx of ukrainian refugees close to $100000.00 of them have been living in moldova for months. a huge number, given multiples, total population is just 2600000. the country likes the results is to

solve all these problems on its own. which is also why i'm on days that are applying to join the european union, schulty off the russia inside that ukraine. in june 2022 montalvo was granted e u. candidate status. and in the u parliament, my assigned it was loaded pro european stones. this war was caused precisely, by jove. what do you think of designs? 3 said ages 2 divided into space. i'll say, and friends to seize that, he thought he, we supported the sovereignty until he thought aly integrity of the plane. as we always did, could i me a, is you crazy? don't boss, is ukraine key of the the song lead the timing to they bought over the city will we bought

a few or the yes small does a still from reaching european standards, especially in rural areas. to this day, the village of tara sofa has no running water. elaina. channing has never known things any other way. during the draft this summer, there was hardly any water in the well. and if i take 3 or $4.00, it's full, the neighbor will only be left with muddy water. that's how it is in the summer. the, the village does have a water station that comes with an ounce at the river for an downstream. some local

residents were also supposed to have access to it without even neighboring village dots, which has no coincidence the modem of our village of 10. i still remained with our water. then another mayor came and said, we should collect funds to realize the project. i was the one who went to people and collected the money kind of not done that a year later, still nothing had changed to i asked the mayor to return our money if it wasn't going to work. so, but he said the project was now completed and he couldn't give the money back. look at the bottom flash, the montgomery office and they knew chinese experiences know minds that isaac kings. many such instances of corruption have made the people him be to quite a few get rich,

most mold eyes and said growing poor. since gas prices have shown top elaina chain, a cook's on the wood stove, and how cold yacht pension is only around $100.00 euros. a month, so she and her relatives must rely on themselves and each other to get by, by the american people. we have children living abroad who help us with money from that we buy, but we need to do that. we couldn't survive a week on our pensions. didn't know 3. yes, and this was the best time phone for the assistance but missed their relatives. you might have done lives in the czech republic to hear my brothers in moscow. my cousins to a good idea because my sister has a daughter, you know, you know, i'm the daughter in italy, she married someone there. we rarely see each other. that's lives these days

now, softer for people. leaders, initials, the young people here because there's no infrastructure. usually nothing absolutely nothing. it's also based on lack of press banks that and goes people beyond rest in case she now went on for weeks. it was an open secret. the people were being paid to protest with set daily rights, the boldness for staying overnight. the police kept an eye on developments, but didn't intervene. these demonstrate to support populist politician, eli ensure he's being convicted of stealing a $1000000000.00 for multiplan, banks. money's vanished and he didn't show his split the country. he's been sentenced to 15 years in jail in absent to you and tony

a few punches by debt to say vince to the protest as y, as in shaw here with you. he robbed 3 banks. i don't believe that since you entered politics, he's never forgotten and the people on the legend didn't use the book a new just re elected maya. sand do not want to did the people electra? yes, the people are here. we agree with her. were only you mean, you know others to or where are the others, the networking, who in your not your being paid to 400 lake per day, 2000 for the night. you know, nothing. what you why are you working with them? because i'm here because the money's flowing or where do such deep divisions come from. we noticed that in the tent camp, the screen was showing 10 advised propaganda. what the time line show is on the

present. the station tv 6 is owned by one of the supporters disseminate pro russian propaganda. the content is similar to auction to people in transmit street. we're not allowed to film officially and this separatist territory. we're only allowed to visit his tourist for a maximum of 10 hours. so we're filming with a hidden camera to guide maxime to mac lips and works in trends. and these pre owned be contacted several tool guides. but he was the only one willing to show us around under the circumstances. most me to some of our media doesn't report about the protests in case you know, we have, but we have our own politics, our own president, decal, the supreme soviet system, our own power structures, at least from the justice system through to the executive. look what happens on the

other side of the river. it doesn't affect us. beautiful trends in history. a is closer to russia in spirit lose. a small dove is closer to your mobile blizzard. give it around. 500000 people live in this break away region, which is politically and economically reliance on russia. most of the people here also have russian citizenship. transmission area is possibly populated, and people mainly live thanks, bombing the is a ukrainian florida is never far away. can you me put it on stay? you can see the border posts and this is the border strand between trans mystery and ukraine. southern, there are border patrols here, like in every country in the world. 1500 russian soldiers stationed in france

and history and we had for the capacity amunition deb, it's thought to be one of the largest in eastern europe, housing and estimated 20000 weapons. no one knows whether russia plans to use them some day or against whom one single. it's a little place which is only known because of its ammunition depot. and that was built during the soviet era. the new, the copy with this after the collapse of the soviet union of the little trans mystery inherited by the fiscal seals of frustrating unites. it's closely monitored by our justice department and russians. peacekeepers is going to be order them in the reports and the receipts give me a 2nd. yeah. so unfortunately the a lot has been said about dismantling the depot to other pretty much i don't think that's possible right now without provoking people on one side of the river or the

other. it was 0. it's news. and you said the when used to get into the building, so let's go with them. so it is of them. we can solve the trends in history or conflict as long as the russian military remains on the territory of the republic of moldova. we like the countries rightful institutions to have been demanding the withdrawal of russian troops for decades. the 2 and we also demand the destruction of the weapon stored in combust now, which pose of great danger, not just for the republic of ball dover, but for the entire region will become on the sheet and the do not the job because it tells me that i wish to trans history or would it become independent? who shares those trans and history a must become independent school repeatedly of the over the last 30 years. people's views changed. their language is also an off. the goals show because many people

here don't speak any romania, we wish to move here. everyone speakers rush interlude you go to the bottom. a set of the white of middle school in 1992, the trends and history. a war led to trends in history. a breaking away from all dover. reminders at this time can still be found at the border to the separatist territory. in caution, it's a heavy finding. 2 claims with a russian army and separatist loyal to moscow on one side. those defending mold of, uh, on the album those are the order this state or the use of the traces that remain from those times the way it sees, the guys drill these holes for shooting out the yes. got it. i agree. yeah. you can see the distance between them around 4 meters. i give them because there weren't so many soldiers that you should be getting left the board also stationed on the roof of the building and see this was the villages center him defend, but i that's out totally to see something broken locally based on what's happening

in ukraine now is familiar to me to have to move back then we can have lots of refugees who fled to case you know, ssl is good for romania or i can well remember people's driver into your side. uh, what's happening now effects me quite deeply go. i mean, a lot of jason sampling used for that project and i totally did co signs causing to punch in the fighting back. then you get a c o q is emilio. it's going to be just that protests approach from the village and shot into the air with their machine guns across the front and the residence i'll do it is really the next day we went to the police station and they gave us for machine gun not because we had enough money in putting the money to move, but to hold on market, we use these weapons to mount our defense economic typically, but they listen to when the police and reinforcements from case you know, no chip, what does it need? and that's how we weren't able to hold off the separatists and not let them into

our village. i don't know if that's true. i'm pushed through commercial ship the way in 1992, the armed forces that the young republic of most of it consisted of no face soldiers and volunteers for the older generation. the memory of these dramatic times is still vivid numbers, not letting me now. commerce got on pointed to the dental office. the 1st time i went to the front, i really food kind of unique. i got to know a policeman. he accompanied me some of the month to come. no one else would go there fucking within me unless you i said i'm not afraid and remember the list should do when we arrived there. much in the boys were sitting in the trenches, especially making fire from tree branches, the desk and drawing their clothes themselves. so as go find it a decimal equitable life for you couldn't feel anything but pity for those poor boy sitting there certain minute. how could i not bring them to national cheese and

institution cutty to shut the room off? did you still on the black to one night cause a lot of 2 separate disease came with machine guns, definitely meet that on the fire. the whole time we go there was so much blood that it slowed down the surrounding mississippi digital trends and history on shore cushion. it remains moved over trance and history. it broke away and oriented itself towards russia. the ceasefire agreement has held since it was signed on july the 21st 1992. but some 30 years on will once again threatened small diverse franchise and peace. just how much the will in ukraine effects. moldova became clear when russia announced a partial mobilization of military reserve is in september 2022. the young

man to young. well, david, man with russian citizenship could be drafted. the desire to see is disorders. let's see, that's what my acquaintances from russia are now being called, which is along you even those with mold, open citizenship out a hard time leaving russia is, are it shows them there were long lines there, dual citizenship. so didn't exempt them from mobilization from yes, it was that they were very nervous. hundreds of thousands of men deemed fate for military service, laughed russia, sophia, being cold on most flat to neighboring countries. to catholic stone, armenia, or georgia. rover come on off, documented the accident, but his blog you have about because again, the day before the mobilization took effect was that the only border check going to

between russia and georgia, where there was a lot of activity with the. yeah, football, i spoke with people there and later with a few russians who made it to believe the dump of show. so that's what this video is about and i see what a but i'm a look that's the scene of the border needs of the russian mobilization also created a potentially volatile situation for the republica, moldova especially with transmits, trio is consent you study school them will be that there is the danger of a mobilization of loved open citizens in the countries eastern districts been to this to prevent such actions were examining the possibility of revoking them adult in citizenship, of those who hold citizenship of both the republic of mo, dover, russian, and the russian federation guide and who fight on the side of the aggressor the

the youngest most or for i don't know exactly what the leaders of russia and other countries are after. but these conflicts are very similar. it's no coincidence that we've all been divided them with all the over georgia, ukraine, azerbaijan, and armenia. is that a by john sent me 9 for both come on of the idea that russia is systematically dividing these post. soviet societies is as obvious as it is disconcerting. the in october of 2022, the boy in ukraine came even closer to multiplan pods from the russian miss. i'll find that ukraine landed animal dive and village near the boat and the blast ways passed windows in several houses here in northern moldova. but no one was injured.

ukraine's anti aircraft systems shot down the russian missile. president sand who came to see the situation for himself. the missile came from ukraine and what's a rush it got to do with me, but we need to differentiate between who's supporting the war and who is doing. we want to support the new wife power more times cheaper and your brain needs to be at the new grain has no electricity. you need to deal with some of the tv boom, tv, and other cities when there's no light, when you can, you know, water. no heat would need died in the winter. the mazda over the government will provide compensation for heating cost of the blame. yeah. there's not for everyone to know what you mean. why not last year?

it was paid, and this year it will be even more people get done. but we're suffering the this is always done. the visa this winter will be tough due to the war. he's a bank because prices have risen due to the war miss. we're a small country and we need to have sticks together in these tough time slows. lindsay, we can do it. we'll see. thank you. meanwhile the tent camp in front of the parliament has been cleared by the police, but the problems wouldn't be swept away so easily. in november 2022. the energy crises grew was following massive russian attacks on the ukrainian power system. although that was also experiencing electricity shortages and blackouts and the things to

financial support from the international community. could them all dive in state to compensate pensioners and low income earners for the winter is high energy costs. still life remain to struggle. somebody on tripping. uh and tony did cos huh. had to suspend production at his company, the teaching and energy costs with to high. and the order situation was to onsite and your specifics until until started we were in a kind of hyper nationwide him at the moment there is no progress, nothing. and we're all waiting for something about it. we just don't know what really interested there's no stability as far as our business goes, that we have a few contracts, but they're on hold because people are waiting to see what happens with that step. hardly any investments are being made. it's a big problem and means we can't develop gesture huddling attempted to move past.

despite the police economic situation, and tony, take a sauce bills, the opponents ukrainian refugees. but the how much longer he to needs to see some design. so at the end of the tunnel in february 2023, both of us, the ability to be increasingly present president minus tend to reveal the details of an alleged russian plot to over throw her pro european government. she was a, the, to the planned coo by ukraine, which said it had intercepted russian intelligence, the angel, the plan included sabotage. we begun militarily trained, people disguise the civilians to carry out violent actions. you gotta send a tax on government buildings, talk us about what kind of stuff and taking hostages. why they,

they will start seen us doing your land through violent action is disguised as a protest aside the so called opposition. i don't want to support the change of power in case you know that it would be forced. some of the in march 2023, a new ways of pro russian street perchance began this time. the issue was mil davis official language and what it's named oliver rotate that it should no longer be called multiplan as it was during soviet times, but rather romania it was another step taken by and condiments, pro european majority to distance itself from all the soviet legacy and with it,

from russia to the roof, uh, come on, attempts to print the test and the capital with concern. the situation in the country is worrying the language is we're always at the forefront. there was source of irritation as i was really close to things. but and badly, i have up to all the indications are there if someone is aiming to aggravate the situation. yes, it's already escalated, i'm looking it up. so i'm, i'm quite concerned to see this in the media people is that some of the price points. romanian is our only language we're more buildings, although than language traders. our language is romanian though then the video and this shows the polarization and how nerves are afraid. my conviction that moldova will be drawing

more deeply into the conflict as of brown this year, which i live at the start of the war. the fear was great since then we've unfortunately grown used to the war. now, i'm calmly talking about the fact that something could happen here. would you please, could you use russia really working to promote conflict, to move over in the hopes of bringing down its pro european government reports about to print in strategy paper containing a concrete action plan to destabilize moldova, as to jumpstart noise space. most of them were known, threatened to military aggression today that both my friends will go to see what precisely because russia cannot reach our borders on evidence. yes. then those boy, the kremlin, is waging a hybrid war against the republicans, moldova symptom. question include, luna, and okay, yeah,

so i'm going to see you at the same time. yeah. no good things are also happened as when we bought the we've managed to make it through the winter to be compared to the despite gas problems. blackmail, despite the fact that prices were very high, that is, you might want think about the despite the destabilization attempted. and since i see the, let's call this beta space or dislike rushes, attempts to bring down a democratically elected government. but i'll cut the dimensions, i want everyone to understand on spread one, our only route to prosperity that piece of freedom and stability is membership in the european union. the are the one day. one of them is eventual extension to the view is still far off. and since the war in ukraine began, it's become clear that russia isn't prepared to stop accepting its influence on this smaller republic. mold over will be fighting for its future for a long while to account the

. the, the situation on sylvia's folder was hungry is 10. police chase having the amish. people smugglers who are becoming ever more daring dangerous. but catching them in the serbian forest as difficult. and it's near impossible to stop the trafficking of human beings focus on 0 in 30 minutes on the w. 12 candidates 30 meters above ground challenges stepping push them to their limits.
