when i see it is where most of us is this, the pollutants next target. next on we've got some hot tips for your bucket list, the magic corner check. hot spot for food. and some great coach on the board has to vote. w travels 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, the 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 messiahs targeting ukraine of clothing over moldova. but to those border patrols of watching mofas's smugglers and people traffic, those were the so the police say they're ready to fight for their country. whoever threatens them. however large the force and 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 that, but i think everyone wants to to see piece, especially given the fact that as many other assignment parents on the last think

a one that's my child, he is more especially close to home. so i hold that soon, that'll be piece sofa of the threat to moldova, has appeared not from outside. it's in the anti government demonstrations in the capital tissue. now alongside them a constant stream of cyber attacks. this information on the bottom hopes is that of ruffled the thirties and put them on the defensive rushes hands they say is behind it or what we do to happen for russia to decide that they're coming across your board in force. i'm gonna take control here in moldova, 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 uh for now do it if they manage to change the government by radicalize in the population. that would mean that they can put various and that as a motion, that would mean that they can provoke rand, including opening different from that would mean that they could access bleckley lexis with a new bed and the interest, including the trades, who have different uh, quite the advantage of submitted the position stuff, names, proximity with the 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 too close for comfort. earlier this year, you accuse the russians of attempting a qu, data against to

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 you crane started always that you should so much stronger. and we have proof that i always, that you should have been able to prevent pressure from implementing its 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 strong enough and restless 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 weak institutions. we with close, but our institutions managed to put of in this scenario. how do we have to space 1000 way? well, i'm not 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 on. but again, a face to the fact that we knew about these plans and thanks to the fact that the institutions managed to do yet quickly. and there were vigilance 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 without the response back to the q. i some, i do feel safe because i have it cynthia, which protects you. of talked about the a hybrid was that um, most ago his opponents who distributed large sums of money to all the galks and all

of us centrally to cause trouble. he would seem to have very powerful enemies here . do 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 assurance and people who have been receiving money from russia for years to undermine o. s. h to build a 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 attends to this, the bellows, the country. because the interest of the cut up groups are to keep them all 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 by a to, to work against the model in states. and now the, the cut up groups which southern lazy 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 continents most important politicians, armed with a possible promise of support and the fervent hope that's what happened in ukraine . what happened here, commission president, the us, you know, from the line, praise moldova, for embodying what she called, your core values. that is sony, which you showed to was the ukrainian refugees 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 know, 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 pass code to your opinion. and today i'm glad to announce a new support package for mold along with a double object. we want to support you to address the impact of the war and your doorstep. and we want to bring your closer to the european union. you said recently, we believe we can save our democracy only as part of the e. you is your democracy, that french are going to do a 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 threats to our democracy. and that's why we believe that our democracy will be safe within the you. we value democracy. we've been fighting hard to protect our democratic institutions. and so, since this is especially to consolidate them, but we see that external challenges can hop 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 of support. you want more than moral support. don't you want actual support. we have been benefits, income supports with no 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 have 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 integration of possible and prevent you becoming hooton's. next target. we do need to be part 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 them 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 got voted out of office, we made the commitment to be 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 have 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 you 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 discipline dreams of e 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 it's just so frustrating you didn't know what you're new, which i thought i knew more good. trustworthy cbs. what? thank you for the patience the show me even though that said it was ok to me, not to so i know what could i knew that i see you know about the initial distortion you what the story is, the boys i know someone's got to work, but it's still, it's a challenge, opinion of usage of skaters,

him and you suggest that came up with the story. but the more you said is the way you might be smear for some sort of us, you know, so particularly in just a few minutes or so that i see it was, it's not by that normal done. yeah, there's going to be misleading the prescribed the most of the chemical dogs give us the on the would you imagine seeing we drive around the most of them are who who really seem to be i to my vehicle the water so that i bought the 11th to be e waste cookies. if it is there any is clogged with them. uh,

this is if you want to click on this, this label switches around you. of the 1st, you know, your sometimes will go to god. you go to the peace. assuming usually we need to be in the museum there, that the simple it get fishy. i'll come when i knew even what other books to move into the, you know, moving about the use of the blue bus. you had a video for someone. so did you start to choose lee, which in, you know, putting up the most close example a total assume was what lived here 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 government, one of them is the form i promise go present the v go don't. because put in a patriot and says he'd restore a cost to ship with russia. if you go back into the pilot, we ask for an interview. he made 2 appointments. posts were canceled. a year ago, prosecutors jobs came with an array of crimes including treason, financial irregularities, and abusive office. using assistive, he's innocent. why that delay and bring him to trial. he says it's political persecution. here's a point. that's me. well, let's see. he was supported by your crime in yours and that will. he's a figure that has been a open

d. the police side of the supported by the criminal m here in cation on the republic of model. he was promoted on the russian federation of impetus. she was feeding us supporting the autographs. he was doing business 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 is 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 innocent into his 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 old over we had the only

propaganda and infusion of a feeling of incapacity, total dependence of what i shows will. and josh was policies, we have to let him 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 beating it in the next elections do within 2 years. it's the city of jorge home to the pro must go sure. 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 then

um do you guys send no recalls, but i believe we do. one is zillow, luna, mutual uh shows and the silk receiver knows what to be quoted or do you know i gave you? would you go to the single unit that it says? yes. okay. but my assembled way we can potentially yeah. me see, my son, the shorter. no. good. go. yeah. the order. hey. what do you, do you have a when? which in knoxville? yeah. with a glass septic you, you will probably need to come from your phone that i will my woke up cuz that's, i mean your $10.00 thing because the so you you can work the streets day a nights here in all hey, but you won't find the man who sets up the show a party, you land sure. he fled the country after being convicted for his boss. and

a massive bank for sure doesn't give many interviews, but we managed to contact him on line that his parent location in israel, when he told her she was innocent, his trial of being rate. and the real feast was the president's my sons on russia, though, not a word of purchases. got in store right now, could i didn't you from you guys, lots of arguments for security. so i just gave me g o u. oh yeah. yeah. i mean 0. you'll do it good. so that yeah, but it keeps you. yeah. yeah, probably the just you need to use the the single button. you thought i'd never guess of the go to it, but the upcoming value you complete the yeah. good to list of all the up. what shot? good. let's go. menu bar. and the purpose of my daughter got near let the whole still but with guys of it,

so we don't because it. yeah. yeah. you mean by you in the country from your business, but you move muskrat russell. you 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, it was me. yeah. i need to have someone on it and you were able to find it even the desktop or just score uh, kind of the list even by syllabus choice of goods. and would you go to, is that for them? as was the 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 pay the

. and if you pray 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 code. you believe that you kind can win back overland, but the russian 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 supports to, to gain it steady tardies. otherwise, we sleep in a world where countries born, those channels are respected anymore, and this is not the world anyone wants to live in the prospect scale. the fact that innocent people are being killed every day in ukraine. this is something that scares everybody. so that's why we need to help you clean 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 rush, it will remain a threat for years to come. yes, that's what i believe. and that's right. and that's why the truth threat. and that's why accountability is very important. what you see is president putin's and game just the large thing, better, right, back to the union. probably so the union or even more. but it's clear that the system between large, the 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 i showed respect to the territorial integrity of the countries. the other you said yourself, we remain

a threat to mold over, at least while we're at democracy. so that's right, we'll 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 moldova, 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 bunch just rush city schools 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
