for nicholas watched managed to extinction. how are they right? find often to the point, dw, we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. magic corner check. hot spot for food, and some great cold from the boys to boat. w traveled off, we go the good peaceful as h a p is both of us sits right next door to ukraine and the searing, devastating conflict with no end in sight since february last year. the country of just 2 and a half 1000000 has been under

a state of emergency wherever the fighting might spread to its own territory by activity or design finality use border agency from tech's office, a symbolic show of outside support. moldova is hoping for much more this is the border crossing point from moldova into ukraine, and there is fighting the current moment between ukraine and russia is roughly a 100 kilometers away. the big question dominates here, is where the mold over is mr. pollutants. next target. comfort zone has come here to gauge the level of concern good

in the southeast of the country, moldova shares a 200 kilometer stretch of the denise, the river with ukraine, the re no longer just the puerto for the dividing line between war and peace. russian messiah targeting ukraine of floating over moldova. but to those border patrols of watching more of a smugglers and people traffic cuz we have a sound, the police say they're ready to fight for their country. whoever threatens them. however, launch the force for as long as it takes your living next to to huge was do you think you'll ever see peace in this region? the game in the last time? i hope so. but you're not sure. i think at this stage no one can before of that, but i think everyone wants to to see piece, especially given the fact that as many of those i'm a parent then the last think

a one that's my child. he is more especially close to home. so i hold that soon, that will be peace. so so the threat to moldova has appeared not from outside with an anti government demonstrations in the capital titian now alongside them, a constant stream of cyber attacks. this information on the bottom hopes is that of russellville socrates, and put them on the defensive rushes hands they say is behind it will what we do to happen for russia to decide that they're coming across your board enforce. i'm gonna take control here in molto. a model of us decision to walk along. they are paying the vendors pass and be a member of the democratic humphrey world. that's exactly already the reason why russia so aggressive here in, in this region. and they can,

for now do it if they manage to change the government by radicalize in the population. that would mean that they can put the various scenarios in motion. that would mean that they can provoke rand, including opening the front front. that would mean that they could access the black black seats with a new bed and the impress, including the trades, who have different uh, quite the vantage was submitted the position stuck nunes proximity with maple troops and much, much, much more. let's give some extra power negotiations when brussels and when i say brussels, i mean all the capital for you. that means that again in control and they don't need extra a reason. ready that may be true, but for president my assembled in office since 2020 the prospect of direct russian intervention has already come to comes for comfort. any of this you, you accuse the russians of attempting a qu, data against you, a government?

how close did you come to being toppled? we are much stronger this year. then last year, for instance, when, when the, the word and ukraine started always to fusion, so much stronger. and we have proof that i always, that you should have been able to prevent pressure from implementing it's scenario . it doesn't mean that these attempts will not continue. but how best did it come? it was to me, i was thing you a visa juice's was tongue notes and rest his plan proved to be not the least sticky notes because especially i believed that we were weak because that's what pressure one small dog or 2 to be wants to be a weak institution or a weak state with weak institutions. we with close, but our institutions managed to put it in this scenario. how do we have to space 1000 way? well, no, 2 hours away, but weeks in which a restaurant was planning to,

to undertake this offense of over throwing the government together with the criminal groups together with the corruption groups lead my some hold of it. but again, a face for the fact that we knew about these plans and thanks to the fact that the institutions managed to do yet quickly. and they were vigilant enough this, this was not, this hasn't happened. do you feel personally on the threat? i'm not sure that uh you know that a 6 when you come to a position like being the president of a country that got their response back to the q i some i do feel safe because i have it cynthia, which protects you of i talked about the hybrid wolf that i most go has apparently distributed large sums of money to all the galks in moldova, essentially,

to cause trouble. you would seem to have very powerful enemies here. do you know who they will? uh, are we talking about a 5th column against you in this country? it's a combination um we have quality issues and people who have been receiving money from russia for years to undermine o. s. h to be of the strong state and the republic of minova. maurice simply some of the cut off groups which before, didn't have a dual political color, no joined russia. and it's a sense that this, the bellows, the country. because the interest of the cut off the groups are to keep them on the integrate area to have weak institution so that they could continue to still. and they would not be put in place and they would not respond for the abuses that they've committed in the, in the past. so you have a combination of efforts. now, of those people who have been working for a shift for many years,

who have been paid busha to, to work against the mother and states. and now the, the cut up groups which southern lady allies that they share the same objective regression to make this country weak and, and to benefit from the june. the 1st and dozens of european leaders were on parade. in mode of his capital. a dazzling unity displayed by the comfortable just most important quality issues, armed with a possible promise of support and the fervent hope that's what happens in ukraine. what would happen here? commission president, us, you know, from the line praise moldova, for embodying what she called, your ups core values. that is funny, which you showed to was the ukrainian references resilience, which you show to rush as a relax mailer and unity which you showed to link your destiny to the european

union. it was very moving to see a see of 0 pm slash here in case you now street last week. and my message to the people of most of our is that we stand by you, we support you every step of the way on your past due to your opinions. and today i'm glad to announce a new support package for molded love with a double checked. we want to support you to address the impact of the war and your doorstep. and we want to bring you closer to the european union. you said recently, we believe we can save our democracy only as part of the e. u. is your democracy, that french i think goes into the political situation, shows to us that ratio continued to be

a big source of instability. so years to come. and actually it has been posing flats to our democracy. and that's why we believe that our democracy will be safer within the you. we value democracy. we've been fighting hard to protect our democratic institutions and sources. this is especially to consolidate them. but we see that external times it's can have significant implications, especially on the small country, like you comforted by the fact that some of the european leaders decided to come here. we honored and we see this as a strong signal of support. and you want more than a strong signal, suppose you want more than moral support, don't to you want to actual support. we have been benefits, income supports with enough promising you anything. uh, we have the candidate status now. and this is extremely important to us to us. this is the life of the end of the tunnel we have been benefiting from supports. now

that we've had to deal with the energy crisis with economic implications of the world and ukraine with that as a g crisis. yes, we do need support, but we have a strong determination here inside the country to make the innovation and also and prevent you becoming hooton's. next target we do need to be boss of the you family, to feel safe. are you afraid of being his next target? we do see what actually is being to ukraine. and that is, is to be concerned. of course, you suggested most of it might become a full member of the you by 2030, but you could well be out of power by that new party has been posting in the low twenty's for some of this year. isn't that a why wouldn't that be a huge stumbling book to the you? if you've got voted out of office, we made the commitment to v that'd be by 2030 for the you members sheets.

and we showed on may 21st a few days ago that he's popular support when the citizens of one of those i came to case, you know, came into the street. we have the polling. we have the pulse would show that more than 60 percent of mobile and support the u. accession plan and will continue to work to make sure that the russian for background. and it's this information does not reduce the popular support form for the you integration. but this is an objective which is supported by the majority of the there is no better place to test the public support. and then one of the capitals main markets where day to day concerns. clearly trump any distance dreams, d u membership, top of the list, poverty, unemployment,

and rising prices. and the less the government can turn around the economy. it may not be in time long enough to steer the country all the way to brussels. a journey with no clear time table stretching perhaps many years into the future business says larissa thought a lot of this is just so frustrating you didn't know what your new foot so i thought i knew more good because what needs to be a what thank you for the patients for the show me and then it was ok to know what the show is. oh my no. okay. new and i see it and i see everything about the distortion. you see what the story is? the boys on a 2nd got to middle work, but it's still, it's a chill. anything in the research just isn't it?

does it came up with the story here. but the more you could say is the way you might be smear for some sort of bites, you know, so particularly in just a few minutes or so to see him was it's not by that normal gum. yeah, there's going to be the misleading double surprised the most of the chemical dogs on the would you imagine seeing we've tried to do this, but i'm almost a farmer who is the proper to really to name is to search the vehicle the motor so that i bought the 11th the to me, e waste cookie is the good, is there any is go out with them. uh, this is if you want to click on this site,

it will solutions on you or your board agreed you know your time. so the guy who put in the b is assuming, is what we need to be in the museum in the presume. so let me get this, you, i'll come when i know even what other books to meet nippy into the, the virginia to move, you know about the most of the glue. let's you had a video for someone to do solutions, lee, which in, you know, put out the most close example across the most part lives you was this much quicker . good. despite some good feelings towards russia, the old communist busts and statues in moldova don't attract much interest these days. but even after nearly a year and a half of war and ukraine, pro moscow,

politicians form and active, highly motivated opposition block the could we gain power? if things go badly for the current governments, one of them is the form, i promise, go president z, go those on who comes put in a patriot and says he'd restore a cost to ship with russia. if you go back into a pilot, we ask for an interview. he made 2 appointments. posts were cancelled. a year ago, prosecutors jobs came with an array of crimes including treason, financial irregularities, and abusive office using assisting his innocence. why the delay in bringing him to trial, he says its political persecution he has appoint doesn't let's see. he was supported by your criminal in years and level his fingers that has been openly prefab supported by the criminal. i'm

here and cation on the republic of model. he was promoted off the russian federation of interest that he was feeling supporting the autographs. he was doing businesses with them. he was directing the policies into the direction that facilitated them. the allowed to sit and go for billions from the people that knows, draining the budget. that means impediments in the implementation of important development programs that will only benefit the the people you see, the kind of this has been proved in the course of the floor. he remains innocence and he's post guilty to of course, of course. so how long, how long is this going to go on? these charges hanging over his head. don't people have a right to timely justice? timely for 5 to yes. hear them that if i'm to go from all over we had the only

propaganda and infusion of a feeling of incapacity and total dependence of ashes wheeled. and josh was policies we have to learn. and once again, to leave our country, the 50 kilometers outside the capital, there's another opposition stronghold. it's dedicated to upsetting the government's landing program and teaching it in the next elections do within 2 years. it's the city of jorge home to the pro must go short of policy, which is clearly invested heavily to give the people well, from the day we visited, my dozens were arriving by the coach, though at the local federal government party assured i'm on the minus the cfo knows these products. okay. learn

country? from your business, but you move muskrat russell. chuck knew me. yeah. you might have seen. yeah. you sure. what's the model you have on the was good. that's going to be on the do you know, do you me, i know that those that he did me. yeah. i need to do it. so no, you were able to find it even the desktop or just score uh, kind of what he would buy seemed the best choice of goods. and would you go to, is that for them was supposed to come up with a case in the court? well, whatever the political battles in moldova, it's the war the dominates, the government's thinking, the, the ministers know that. so now they survive only because the ukrainians of keeping russia the

and if you pay lose this and if they lose, you lose to we all of those, sir, your process. it's not about the public of model for only do you believe that you took, but you kind of them to go to believe that you kind can win back overland. but russia has occupied since it wants to even look at the ball from right next door will to ukraine back to feel should be helped, should get all the support to the gain it steady tardies. otherwise, we sleep in a world where countries board the sun, auto, spect it anymore, and this is not the world anyone wants to live in the prospect scale. the fact that innocent people are being killed every days in ukraine. this is something that scares have anybody. so that's why we need to help you create and we need to

make sure that such things don't happen anymore. you don't believe to you that this is a one off of the venture for the criminal. and you think russia will remain a threat for years to come? yes, that's what i believe. and that's right. and that's why the truth, right. and that's why i go with the abilities. very important. what you see is president putin's and game. yeah. just the large, think that that back to the union, probably sorry, union or even more. but it's clear that the system between launch their country which is big enough as to what kind of basis will it be in the future for west relations with russia. what, what come, that'd be under those circumstances? the democratic world and, and the entire world, me just to make sure that, for i showed respects the territorial integrity of the countries. the other you

said yourself, we remain a threat to mold over, at least well. we have democracy, so that's right. to continue. i shall continue to be a big source of instability for years to come. that's why the content on needs to stay together and that's why the democratic world needs to work together and just help all the countries like mendoza, which ones the democracy to survive for us. the easiest way to go. so the dates all the democracy and to preserve is, is, is to be part of the, but that still doesn't give us a way of living with this kind of rush at this with bunches throughout the city school still going to be the that's why the accountability is very important and restaurant should be punished for what it is doing now. anything the
