dw, the every jenny is far less the prizes. we've gone all out to give you some time. one day in the course of the rectory in your northern most count the police the free time. but still very much alive. your guy to the special in germany recognizes where exactly it was fun. i've learned a lot of our culture history. all their travel extremely worth a visit. the

most of a country in town. while this was the scene in march 2023, 4 months. people have taken to the streets in the small republic which borders on ukraine, the pro russians, and pro european protest as engage in angry stand off. the wall and ukraine has polarized mold 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 west of michigan is nice, but we didn't know what would happen next. mold evans felt threatened. the word was that land was put in the next target. the war is really close things good in badly all the indications are there. how really is this the end that mold does that might

lose its independence? can a small country withstand the pressure from russia? the russia invasion of ukraine on february, the 24th 2022 spunk. t is 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. so i'm going to send you to come. so instead of doing presidents on what's happening in our region of a love, i just, we have more in ukraine and military activity near the border of the republic of mold over the. it is a dramatic situation for our neighboring country. i think us and to sort of it and for us, right. it's extremely threatening critics, but i'm doing good. it is what i thought of and through noise the alarm was great,

but so it was the willingness to help in an industrial area on the outskirts of the capital case, you know, we visit, i know totally dickerson's company, the own trip and has been helping ukrainian refugees, ever since the war began. he sent up a clothing death in his factory following a visit to a border crossing on the very 1st day of the wall. that would be, that would be of this to me when we arrived there. i was shocking to see a woman dressed only in a nightgown with a blanket around her that had icicles hanging from it. and so i just think it was snowing and freezing cold. so for me and in the middle of a field of a for that gap is when you lose, i'm uh, i called up friends from my village just watching these. these are deals 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 mind me because many in the village took in refugee last year. i know what you're not going to be much the brakes to be able to get a few months off of the warrant 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, but for the pen demik. so the, but during the pandemic price is 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 budget in that as like the mean you more than me because this is at zillow originally, it's this life is also changed radically, but i t x boats and video pro good 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 2022. i'm looking for the now his music videos, i'm traveling off seem like relics from a former line. most of the way in his life was great before the war looking at this, i can hardly believe it. why does this have to happen? the eob to 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 come on off as being more interested in the political situation. in moldova, you have for the long story, i thought that trans mystery, this to the separate just region. and although is

a bit like the don't boss, doesn't matter. i wanted to find out if there was a difference between these conflicts and fleet and whether it could lead to such 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 us through what is trans mystery you want to? it's a region that broke away from all dove in the 1990 example is which is the international community says it belongs to molto but but no goober has no control over it. and tell you, in 1992, a war took place there late enough good russian troops had been stationed there ever since. 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 cause you in southeast asia. usually a c, t of the like of the former soviet republics. well does declared its independence in 1991. the boat as a boat is 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 south declared street nest drove in mo dave and republic. better known as trends and history. a is 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 i'm older that has m o d u oriented at this stage, the november 2020 my son do was elected president. and 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. no, you know, just depend on 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. the 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 significantly. they've been through that. there's great discontent in the population. vista, 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. of with

them to do this, they go to behind that hills. not far from here. is ukraine named like the loan of summerville clay la. hope of seeing you blue. what do you think it is? you my, 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 be, you know, some, we didn't know what would happen next. is nice because of the rules and we stuff given user yes, 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 and some of the other side of the river must go through the border

control, the pension and this is the old days before the land and its people were separated to the village of deluxe. she on the opposite bank with belongs to trends and history. okay, so it's a russian speaking village problem with that nearby is through. i ashton, i'm all deals and village. that's how we live with one another. we did this thing, but there was a lot of exchange across the river, even in the winter over the ice, the city, the guy, the eyes 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 me love the product of 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, full of 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 got to get those as for us, the residents of these villages, the sides of it's annoying to have to drive through here. slowly tmz see even the because sometimes they perform checks and harass people. of course, as the check points should have been removed long ago, you will call the 2 sites the that the difficult, but i, lila you are fighting cushion size typical of the republican. although 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 since my mindset the most, which of these did you have any of those rates people in the village were 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. let them move to the quick and easy city to this is anna totally the cosigns 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 is being a source of conflict in his country. not mine what language to use because a child may ask me to help him with that. with romania and 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 see what did they say. she knew no ship but the drawers they called yesterday, determined to go go holics up on the map of dirty mo deals

and but the animosity goes beyond language. pull economic conditions of all circles trying all diamonds, hoped independence would boost the economy and batch of the lines. but so far they reached no benefits. gives them a jeter where i'm a little dazed for 2 people are hugely disappointed because we stumbled from one crisis to the next. we'll commit to is done in the last 30 years. we haven't experience to do any one same period of disability for developmental side. 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 garden or feed, the total let them use quantity of meat. so used to give them a digital though in the design it is to many people in this area are pro russian leaning. well, i mean, some, i think they're being manipulated because they only watch russian

t v station normal. even though i have no other explanation on g to them, there's disappointment, and the propaganda simply works very well. be 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 demanded the resignation of president my ascend. they taunted, we all the people this must. a stop,

we the major resignation. resign the the crowd, parents, the pro russian propaganda that it's not the rule that's driving insulation. but the motive in government since maya sand who 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 we just war, but he doesn't kill any civilians 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 tv and facebook. the just how much outside influence is behind the pro task mold that as president takes a clear stands for this. the most place in the protests we are 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. 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 utilized sounds. i'd like to be as politician and 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 in societies divine and the effects of the wall are becoming increasingly evident in this fall from wealthy country. although that was almost completely reliant on russian gas with russia's launch the stay down from gas from height to prices well, drastically reducing deliveries, last phone and threatened to cut off multiples 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 mill davis. total population is just 2600000. the country likes the results is to solve all these problems on its own, which is also why moaned days that are applying to join the european union shulty off the russia insight if you claim. 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 the regions 2 divided into space of the influence 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? p of the

little that is totally determined to they bought over the c world. 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. no. let us 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 neighbors 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. 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. oh, my gosh, see my color. the funny elaina

chinese experience is no isolated kinds. many such instances of corruption have made the people have been quite a few get rich most mold. ivan said, growing poor since gas prices have shown top elaina chain. a cook's on the woodstove in her quote you on a 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 know that we couldn't survive a week on our pensions. didn't know 3. yes. and this. what's the best time phone for the assistance but missed their relatives? you might have done lives in the czech republic to hear my brother's in moscow. my

cousins to so i as, as my sister has a daughter, you know, you know, i'm the daughter in italy story and she married someone there. we rarely send each other. that's life these days. now, softer, good for people. leaders, initials, the young people 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 that people were being paid to protest . we set daily rates the business for staying overnight. the police kept an eye on developments, but didn't intervene. these demonstrate to support populist politician, eli? i'm sure he's been convicted of stealing

a $1000000000.00 for multiplan. banks. money's vanished. and he didn't show his flat the country. he's been sentenced to 15 years in jail and i've sent to you. and tony, a few pumps has by debt to say vince to the protest as y, as in shall here with you. he robs 3 banks. i don't believe that since you entered politics, he's never forgotten. the people on the legend didn't use the book a new just re elected maya. sand do not want to get the people. electra. yes, the people are here. we agree with her. we're only you, you know others to or where are the others? the networking who in your not your being paid to 400 late per day, 2000 for the nights are you know, nothing. why are you working with them? because i'm here because the money is 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, a disseminate pro russian propaganda of the content is similar to walk shown to people in trends in history. we're not there now to film officially in this separate his 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 trance. nice pre owned, be contacted, several tool guides. but he was the only one willing to show us around under the circumstances. most me do. 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. the what happens on the other side of the river, it doesn't affect us. beautiful, trans mystery. it is closer to russia in spirit lose a good, a small dove is closer to your move 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. transmits p a is possibly populated, and people mainly live and farming the is a ukrainian florida is never, far away state you can see the border posts and this is the

border strand between transmit street and ukraine. southern there are border patrols here, like in every country in the world. 1500 russian soldiers stationed in france and history. we had for the capacity. i munition deb, it's thought to be one of the largest in eastern you up housing, an 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 else will trans mystery. inherited it by the so let's go see it was a product and you know it's, it's closely monitored by our justice department and russians. peacekeepers can order them in the reports and the receipts. give me a 2nd. yeah. it's the origin. the law has been set about dismantling the depot

to 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 said the one 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 sheet and that i do not the yeah, because it tells me that i wish to trans industry. it would it become independent? who shares those trans mystery a must become independent proof. that gives

a pretty it's a clear 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 speak refresh. include 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 and history. a breaking away from all dover, or 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 order it is the use of the traces that remain from those times. by the way, it sees the guys grilled these holes for shooting and said he gets caught in the you can see the distance between them around 4 meters because there weren't so many

soldiers that usually usually less the people are also stationed on the roof of the building it, see this was the village of center and defend, but i, that's how totally. so let's see. so the is what's happening in ukraine now is familiar to me to move back then we 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 of what's happening now. effects me my deeply go, i mean, a lot of jason simply mused the product that brought it and i totally did co signs causing to punch in the fighting back. then you're going to see what kind of issue is and did you lose your separate tests, approach the village and shot into the air with their machine guns across the front and the residence. the next day we went to the police station and they gave us for a machine gun up because we had enough money in putting in the money to move the hotel market. we use these weapons to mount our defense. it cut them through quickly, but they're, listen,

i'm up to push when the police and reinforcements from kids, you know and ship, 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. let me push through some muscle chip. what i'll do room the way in 1992, the armed forces at the young republic of malta consisted of no face soldiers and volunteers for the older generation. the memory of these dramatic times is still vivid. now almost got on pointed to the dental or the 1st time i went to the front, i was going to bring food kind of units. i got to know a policeman. he accompanied me, some lives of london. no one else would go there, but couldn't 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 slip, especially with making fire from tree branches, the desk and drawing their clothes themselves. so let's go find it

a decimal aqua rolled up for you couldn't feel anything but pity for those poor boys sitting there certain minute. how could i not bring them dinner? no cheese industry, though she went cutting to shut the room off. did you still in the black who one night cause a lot of a separate disease, 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 this around them. it did. yep. it will the trends and history a wall with shot cushion it remains trans. new street 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 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 of 2022. the document to young. well, david, man with russian citizenship could be drafted. the just sort of seriously is disorders. let's see, that's what my acquaintances from russia are now being called, which is the one you even those with mold, open citizenship, not 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. what was 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 catholic stone, armenia,

or georgia. rover come on off, documented the exodus, but his blog of about because again the 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 e. yeah. football, i spoke with people there and later with a few russians who made it to believe the dump upshaw. so that's what this video is about. and i see what i'm a look that's the scene of the board. and it sort of the russian mobilization also created a potentially volatile situation for the republican mode of especially when it transmits truth is consent. if you study school then will be that there is the danger of a mobilization of loved open citizens in the country's eastern districts. been to this to prevent such options were examining the possibility of revoking them adult

and citizenship of those who hold citizenship of both the republican, moldova, 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 now 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 close at him all day. ponce from

the russian miss. i'll find that ukraine vantage animal diving village near the boat, in the vast ways. best windows in several houses here in northern mill. dover. but no one was injured, ukraine's anti aircraft systems had shut down, the rushing miss sile presidency and who came to see the situation for herself. 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 wide power more times cheaper in ukraine, of a senior, to be at the new grain has no electricity. you need to deal with some of the tv, the tv and other cities. when there's no light, when you can, you know water. no heat would need died in the winter. the mold,

jovan government will provide compensation for eating costs at 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 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 6 together in these tough time slows. lindsay, we don't do it. we see him. 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 a and tony to cos huh. had to suspend production at his company. heating and energy costs were too high. and the order situation was to onsite and heal or spooks until until stages were in a kind of hybrid nationwide him at the moment there is no progress, nothing. we're all waiting for. so i'm thinking about it. we just don't know what we just did. there was no stability as far as our business goes, as we have a few contracts, but they're on hold because people are waiting to see what happens with their step

. hardly any investments are being made. it's a big problem and means we can't develop just should only obtain visible to despise the bleak economic situations. kind of tony take a 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 debility is up to be increasing. the present president minus tend to reveal the details of an alleged russian plot to over throw her pro european government. she was allotted to the planned coupon 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. i let 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 speak 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 parliament's pro european majority

to distance itself from all the soviet legacy. and with it, from russia to the roof, uh, come on, attempts to protest and the capital which concern the situation in the country is we're using the language is we're always at the forefront there a source of irritation side towards the really close things. good and bad, but 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 because of, from this year 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. so what's the price cuz he's russia really working to promote conflict to move over in the hopes of bringing down it's pro european government reports about to print in strategy paper containing a concrete action plan to destabilize moldova, as the jumpstart noise us this most. and then we're not getting 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 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. the but i'll got the dimensions. i want everyone to understand kind of spread when 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 smaller republic holdover will be fighting for its future for a long while to account the the food has full possession, health, and environmental protection. as a whole, greenhouse gases come from production folks to kind of to some goods for the climate. how should we go about developing climate resilient vegetables? and what are the key considerations for sustainable tomorrow to the in 30 minutes on the d w. our specialty is
