through louse in 45 minutes on d, w. these places in europe smashing the rank one step into a bold adventure the treasure map for martin flow to describe it as some of us wriggled, begging sites on youtube, and also 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, the nearest 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 rain no longer just the port out for the dividing line between war and peace. rushing ms files targeting ukraine of floating over moldova . but to those border patrols of watching more of a smugglers and people traffic, those were the sound of the murder police say they're ready to fight for their country. whoever threatens them. however large the force as 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 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 will 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 for the rest of the thirty's 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 this region. and they can uh for now do it if they manage to change the government by ready to closing the population. that

would mean that they can put the various and that as a motion, that would mean that they can provoke rand, including opening the front front. that would mean that they could access the 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 maple troops, and much, much, much more. let's give some extra power negotiations with 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 you, a government. how close did you come to being toppled? we are much stronger this year than last year. for instance, when, when the,

the world ukraine started always to, if 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 from how best to become. 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 wet clothes, 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 led by some other ones. 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 vigilant enough this, this was not, this hasn't happened to feel personally on the threat from national but uh, you know, that a 6 when you come to a position like being the president of a country that the other respond 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 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 to

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. if we use to undermine o s h to be able to strong state and the republicans 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 boys, the country because the interest of the cut up groups are to keep them on the integrate area to have weak institutions so that they could continue to steal. 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 berisha to, to work against the mother in states. and now the, the cut up groups which southern legalize that they share the same objective with

russia 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 with a possible promise of support and the fervent hope that's what happened in ukraine . what would happen here? commission president, the us, you know, from the line, praise moldova, for embodying what she called, your core values. that a sunny day, which you showed towards the ukranian refugees. the resilience which you show to rush as a relax, mailing. 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, its 3 last week. and my message to the people of most of the is that we stand by you, we support you every step of the way on your past to leave 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. 0. democracy that french i think 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 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 so, since this is especially to consolidate them, but we see that external challenges 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 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 possible and prevent you becoming putin'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 buck to the you? if you've got voted out of office, we made a commitment to v i v 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 you accession plan and will continue to work to make sure that the restroom propaganda. 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 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 this is just so frustrating you know, didn't know what your new which i thought i knew more good customer needs to be a what thank you for the patience the show me even though that's in the most of the more money to do problem with the cable dog. he's still on the would you imagine seeing we drive around the was the farmer who, who really just name me to search the vehicle. the motor so that i bought the 11th the to me, e ways. 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 know,

your time. so the guy who put them up is assuming, is what we need to be and so need them there. the question. so let me get this you, i'll come when i knew even what other boys to me, you can jump into the, you just have to move, you know, about the use of the glue. unless you had a video for someone who did solutions. lee, which in, you know, putting up the most close example across the most part lives you was really much quicker. good to despite some warm 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 president z, go those on who comes put in a patriot and says he'd restore a cost to ship with russia. if he go back into the pilot, we ask for an interview. he made 2 appointments 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 criminal in years and that all his fingers that has been openly prefab, supported by the criminal m here in cation on the republic of model. he was

promoted on the russian foundations interests, as she was feeding us, 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 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 and over we had the only propaganda and infusion of a feeling of incapacity. total dependence of but ashes will

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 strong hold. it's dedicated to upsetting the government's learning program and teaching it in the next elections do within 2 years. it's the city of all hey, home to the pro must go short party, which is clearly invested heavily to give the people well. from the day we visited, my dozens were arriving by the coach load at the local federal government party assured me on the minus the cfo knows these products. okay, then um, do you guys send no recalls,

but i believe we do one to zillow in us, which it will show from the stoker, steve, when i go to record it, nor do you know i gave you a disability. so in your email that says this from my as on the way we can potentially misuse my son, the shorter no. good deal. yeah. the order. hey, what do you, do you have a when? which in knoxville yeah. with the glass. see that's the key of a party to come from you. from that i will tell you, woke up who would have thought so. i mean, you were 10 times thing because you are the so you you can work the streets day a nights hear me know hey, but you won't find the man who sets up the show a party, you'll on 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 and his permanent location in israel, where he told us he was innocent, his trial of being rate. and the real face was the president's my ascend on russia though not a word of purchases. got in store right now, could i didn't you from each of us because that's a volume that's pretty crazy. sometimes you can me g o you. oh yeah. yeah. i mean 0 you'll do you good for that? yeah, but it keeps me. yeah. yep. i do just need to use the dc more, but needs that. i've never got the desktop go to it, but the upcoming value you complete the yeah. good to most of them all the push out good local menu bar and the purpose of my daughter got yeah, that's a whole lot still, but with god what somebody does because it yeah, yeah. you mean by you in this 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 via me. yeah, i need to have some noise in you would be even the desktop or just score uh, kind of the list even by syllabus royce of goods. and would you be able to use 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 ministers know that for now they survive only because the ukrainians of keeping russia the

and if you came loose and if they lose, you lose to we all are those, sir. your process, it's not about the public of model for only do you believe that you took, but few kind of them to code you believe that you kind can win back overland, but russia has occupied as it wants to even look at the ball from right next door to ukraine, back to feel should be helped, should get all the support to the gain. it's that he thought is otherwise we sleep in a world where countries board those funnelled, 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 days in ukraine. this is something that scares everybody. so that's why we need to help you claim 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 that's the truth, right? and that's why i go with the abilities. very important. what you see is president putin's and game just the large thing to that back to the unions. probably. so the union or even more. but it's clear that the system between launch the country which is big enough to what kind of basis will it be in the future for western nations with russia. what, what come that'd be under those circumstances? the democratic world and, and the anti were made just to make sure that if i showed respect to the territorial integrity of other 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
