any for an interest savings interest, as you're watching dw news from that link coming up after a short breakout documentary saves. there's a small dove, a nation living in fits into russia in faded. you create object power. i'm from the pool of us here on the news to team invalid types of the pricing strategy issues with a lot say what the

most of a country in 10 miles. this was the scene in march 2023, 4 months. people have taken to the streets in the small republic which borders on ukraine. pro russian and pro european protest is engage in angry stand off. the wall and ukraine has polarized small dive in society. fee is ryan. hi, ryan, from the stones at the was by the sheer panic people, folks were afraid, it would start happening here to the music. nice, but we didn't know what would happen next. we'll dive in. spell present. the word was that land was put in the next target. now let me just find the wars really close things good and badly. all the indications are there. how really is this the end that mold does that might lose its independence?

a small country withstand the pressure from russia, the roches invasion of ukraine. on february, the 24th 2022 sparked v as in neighboring all day, over with day, the next day off to the president went on tv by cetera, cetera. but he didn't, that might have some type of thing going to come. so instead of doing presidents on the, what's happening in our region of a law, i just, we have more in ukraine and military activity near the border of the republic of moldova, the frontier letter. it's a dramatic situation for our neighboring country because they to the side of it and for us, the 6th stream least threatening to, to expand and go. it is what i thought have been through noise. the alarm 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 f 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 it was that would be, that would be of this to me. when we arrived there was shocking 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 uh deal with these. but lots of cars shut off from there. and we brought the 1st $300.00 people there, which did it. but after 4 days there was no more room from the assembly. we house of them at our place, my mothers and other relative i me because many in the village took in refugee last

year. i know what you're not going to mention to breakfast to 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 to we signed contracts and calculated our pricing for the for the $10.00 democrats and the, during the pandemic crisis, rose and the wars only made things worse to 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 up zillow. originally the la, this is also changed radically into 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 former line. the way his 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 the same standard, both come on off as being more interested in the political situation in moldova, give you up a dog star. i thought that trans mr. you this to the separatist regent. animal. dover is a bit like the don't boss doesn't matter to you. i wanted to find out if there was

a difference between these conflicts and sleep and whether it could lead to such a hatred in war happening here because you know, the state, those. that's how this video came about with the document deal. so you still took away putting us 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. could the russian troops have been stationed there ever since? what to look forward? it's all this makes transit history a comparable to other hotspots in 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. well does declared its independence in 1991, the voters of orders 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 mole, dave and republic, better known as trends and history. and it's 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. on the november 2020 maya sanders was elected president, the most important campaign promise was to tackle corruption and poverty to the country's most pressing problems. 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 mold over significant events, including there's great discontent and 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 janay and her siblings suffer from the poverty that's only getting was here and the war is too close for comfort with them

. to do this, they go to the high met hills. not far from here. is ukraine named like the limits of summerville clay in the, the, i'm pushing you blue about what you're looking to do is remind we were extremely concerned when the war started, the selection of the likelihood explosions and the distance. certainly see those who knew competitive we were scared. that was really and had our suitcases packed and ready to be not so we didn't know what would happen next is nice because of the rules and we stuff given user even before hand life, it wasn't always easy. living in a defined, the country has an impact on that daily nice. when elaina chan, a visit strategy is on the other side of the river, must go through the border control. the pension or message the old days. before the

land edits, people were separated. the village jump in love she on the opposite bank with belongs to trans mystery through the arrows. okay, so it's a russian speaking village problem with that nearby is throwing ashton, i'm all bills and village. that's how we live with one another. a doing it blew there. was a lot of exchange across the river, even in the winter over the ice, the city, the guy, the eyes was so thick 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 know if you're watching kind of show me love the past with the last 30 years. the reason has served as a border which can only be traversed at specific crossings on the east coast east and 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 points 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, jim's st. jude 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, you will call the 2 sites the nothing difficult, but i layla your fighting cushion size typical of the republican world over in the all the ethnic groups in our country are represented by or you can you look, i just want to to, to, to do the booby sheet of some sort of mindset of the most. which of these did you have any of us, raise people in the village we're estimating ukrainians. russians usability ongoing

as acts of war as 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 the co signs, 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 of the child to help him with that, with romanian back then it was most open you know, they wouldn't let us speak mazda oven. 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 see what did they say. she fear no, no, no ship of the drawers they called yesterday determined to go holics

up on the map of dirty models and um, but the animosity goes beyond the language, pull economic conditions of all circles, trying all diamonds, hoped independence would boost the economy. and betcha the lines, but so far they've reached no benefits. use it much either way. i'm 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 experience to do 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 what role russian it sooner may have been created in administer that says that we see a kind of a fee pro total, let them use quantity of meat. so they used to give them a digital though, 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 of g that then there's disappointment and the propaganda assembly works very well. 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 demonte the resignation of president my ascend. they taunted, we all the people this must. a stop, we the major resignation. resigned

the crown parents, the pro russian propaganda that it's not the rule that's driving inflation. 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 to put on her knees. something like a talk rose and beg him, forget your words, hoping that guy who is really for the people wages war, but he doesn't kill any civilians just that 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 clear 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. i then fled yet the and now they're using the poor by giving them a bit of the money they've stolen from the market. it would seem, didn't buy, need to go to your meanwhile, they're leading, luxurious lives abroad, and using people to destabilize the situation in this country. the disability is received by chance. i'd like to be as politician, you know, 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 fully threatened to cut off small davis gas supply 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 insight. if you claim in june 2022, montalvo was granted e u candidate status. and in the you parliament, my assigned it was loaded a 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 song lee,

the timing to they bought over the c world. we bought a few or the yeah. 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 for the neighbor, it 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 water out at the river for an downstream. some local residents were also supposed to have access to it without any the 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 a year later, still nothing had changed to i asked the mayor to return our money if it wasn't going to work. so that he said the project was now completed and he couldn't give the money back. oh my gosh, the montgomery elaina janae's experience is no minds to like the case. many such instances of corruption

have made the people have been quite a few get rich. most multiplan is that 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 heroes 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 get we couldn't survive a week on our pensions, but in all 3 years. 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 sort i

cuz my sister has a daughter, you know, you know, i'm the daughter in italy story and she married someone there. we rarely see each other that's lives. these days now softer with people, lease initials, the young people, the because there's no infrastructure usually nothing absolutely nothing. it's also based on lack of price banks that and goes people beyond rent 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 business staying overnight. the police kept an eye on developments, but didn't intervene. these demonstrate to support populist politician, eli ensure he's been convicted of stealing a $1000000000.00, remote dove and banks,

money spanish. and he didn't show his flat the country. he's been sentenced to 15 years in jail in ab sent to you, and only a few punches by debt to say vince to the protesters. why isn't show here with you? he ropes 3 banks. i don't believe that since you entered politics, he's never forgotten. the people only imagine didn't use the bill. i knew just re elected maya, sand do not want the did the people electra? yes, the people are here. we agree with her. were only you, you know, others to where are the others the young didn't they're working on 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 is flowing. where do

such the divisions come from? we notice that in the tent camp, the screen was showing 10 advised propaganda. what the time line show is on the present station tv 6 is owned by one of his supporters. a disseminate pro russian propaganda. the content is similar to want shown to people in trends in the 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 me, i seem to mac lips and works in trance. nice preowned. we contacted several tool guides, but he was the only one waiting 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, to give these from the justice system through to the executive. look what happens on the other side of the river doesn't affect us. beautiful trends and history. a is closer to russia in spirit lose. a small dove is closer to your mobile, but usually around 500000 people live in this breakaway 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. i'm farming the is a ukrainian for the is never far away. you put it on state, you can see the border posts and this is the border strand between transmit street

and ukraine. so there are border patrols here, like in every country in the world. 1500 russian soldiers stationed in trends in history. we had for the capacity amunition deb, it's thought to be one of the largest in eastern europe, housing and estimated $20000.00 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, but that was built during the soviet era. i mean, you, the copy of it is after the collapse of the soviet union is a little trans mystery inherited is about us to be as close the was a product. and you know it's, it's closely monitored by our justice department. and russian peacekeepers is going to be ordered them in the middle ports and going to cease communicating as of origin. the law has been set about dismantling the depot,

the pretty much i don't think that's possible right now without provoking people on one side of the river or the other theatre was news. and you certainly what used to be to go into let's go with them. so it is of them we can solve the trends, history, a conflict as long as the russian military remains on the territory of the republic of moldova. we like the country's rightful institutions to have been demanding the withdrawal of russian troops for decades, the detaining. we also demand the destruction of the weapon stored in combust now, which pose of great danger, not just for the republic of all dover, but for the entire region will become on the other seat. and that i do not the yeah because it tells me that i wish to trans history or would it become independent? who shares those trans mystery a must become independent to prove to excuse the dates of india the over the last

30 years. people's views changed. their language is also an optical 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 visit to 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 fighting took place with a russian army and separatist loyal to moscow on one side, those defending moldova, on the other to the order. it is a little bit and these are the traces that remain from those times. the way it sees the guys drill these holes for shooting out. so he gets caught in the you can see the distance between them around 4 meters because there weren't so many soldiers that usually you deal with. people are also stationed on the roof of the building.

it see this was the villages center him defend, but i that's out totally. so let's see. so the, 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 the 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. the village and shot into the air with their machine guns across the front and the residence i'll do it is the next day we went to the police station and they gave us for machine gun up 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 now know and

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, of course be approved, commercial ship the way in 1992, the armed forces that the young republic of most of consisted of no face soldiers and volunteers for the older generation. the memory of these dramatic times is still vivid numbers, not letting me narrow down the list of 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 this 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 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 she still in the black who, one night? cuz a lot of 2 separate diseases came with machine guns definitely meant that. i mean, they fired the whole time. we go, there was so much blood that it slowed down the street on mississippi digital trends and history. a wall with shot and bodies cushion. it remains multi trance and history. it broke away and oriented itself towards russia. the cease fire agreement has held since it was signed on july the 21st 1992. but some 30 is on was 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 document to young. well, david, man with russian citizenship could be drafted. the fuser activity is disorders. let's see, that's what my acquaintances from russia are now being called, which is alone. you even those with mold, open citizenship, not a hard time leaving russia is. are it shows them there were long lines, their dual citizenship, so didn't exempt them from mobilization from yes, of course that they were very nervous. hundreds of thousands of men deemed fate for military service, laughed russia, sophia, being cold on most glad to neighboring countries, to catholics. don armenia or georgia rover, come on off,

documented the exodus, but his blog of about because again, during a day before the mobilization took effect, was that the only border check points between russia and georgia, where there was a lot of activity with the, you know, football i spoke with people there and later with a few russians who made it to police the dump of shells. 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 real popular commode over, especially with trenton. this trio is consent. you study school them will be that there is the danger of a mobilization of models and the citizens and the countries eastern districts. then through august to prevent such actions, we're examining the possibility of revoking them adult and citizenship of those who

hold citizenship of both the republic. i'm all dover, russian, and the russian federation guide. and who fight on the side of the aggressor and the store 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 on with all the over georgia, ukraine, azerbaijan and armenia. is it a but 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 2022. the boy in ukraine came even close at him all day event. ponce from a russian miss. i'll find that ukraine vantage animal. dave and village near the

boat in the blast ways best windows and several houses here in northern moldova. but no one was injured. ukraine's anti and cross system had shot down the rush and miss sile, the president signed to came to see the situation for himself. the missile came from ukraine and what's a rush it got to do with that. but we need to differentiate between who's supporting the war and who is going to, i guess we won't support the new white power 4 times cheaper and you're afraid of a senior to be at the near future. no grain has no electricity, but some of the, the tv, the tv and other cities when there's no light, when you can yet no water, no heat would need died in the winter. the modules and the government will provide

compensation for heating cost of the being. 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 that, but we're suffering our busy mom. we did this all in the visa, they went through will be talking due to the war because prices have risen due to the war. missed. yeah, we're a small country and we need to have sticks together and 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. odessa was also experiencing electricity shortages and

blackouts and the things to financial support from the international community. good them all dive in stage compensate pensioners, a low income earners for the winter's high energy costs. still, life remain to struggle so most on tripping a, an autonomy to cos huh. had to suspend production to his company heating and energy costs with too 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 was no progress, nothing. we're all waiting for. so i'm thinking about it. we just don't know what we just did. 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 just should huddling attempted to move past. despite the leak economic situation, kind of tony take or sauce bills, opponents ukrainian refugees. but the how much longer he to needs to see some design to 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 plan to buy 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 on top of that kind of stuff and taking hostages. why they there was so you're not doing your name through violent action is disguised as protests by 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 adam and 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 both uh, come on, attempts to print the test and the capital with concern. the situation in the country is we're using 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, that's to all the indications are there if someone is aiming to aggravate the situation. yes, it's already escalated 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 media 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 bi weekly. now i'm calmly talking about the fact that something could happen here. so what's the price? 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 tonight us this most and then we're not getting into the military aggression today that both my friends will go to see what precisely because russia cannot reach our borders on it,

then you spend those boy the kremlin is waging a hybrid war against the republicans. moldova simple question: include, luna and ok. yeah. so i'm going to see you at the same time. yeah, the 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 the 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, the 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 excepting its influence on this small republic. mold over will be fighting for its future for

a long while to account the . the profiting for similar to a ranking as the words 3rd largest economy. india is blasting off. the country wants to catch up with the us and china by 23rd. some factors driving the upswing, digitization education and lofty ambitions made in german 13 d, w. the

might seem easy. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking these, the modern mess. because if we do too much at $150.00 all wrong mess, things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v w documentary implemented coin is great for investing the invest. these are the everyone here just wants to get into big old quite a bit, coins digital gold. and we wanted to stay here in central and south america. they're known as big green arrows, digital gold, diggers, investors from all over on moving to latin america in search of bitcoin treasure.

nowhere is the crypto currency value is more highly than here. but for many, the frenzy ends in ruin. we were promised high speed rail, but so far there is no sign of is going in latin. america starts august 18th on dw, the . this is dw news, and these are a top stories. the top to bottom have be mocking the 2nd on of us 3 of the time to power enough. thomas time supports is celebrated in kabul, where official was declared a public holiday. the hard line is limits of one. they will resist any foreign interference in that recess. afghanistan's west them back to government collapse 2 years ago as us.
