in 60 minutes on d w. what secrets lie behind be discovered with benches in 360 degrees and explore fascinating, both heritage selling dw world heritage 360. now the good peaceful as it appears. 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 the state of emergency wherever the fighting might spread to its own territory. by accident or design

finality use border agency from tex offers the 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 most files targeting ukraine of flooding 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, launch 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 my child see is more especially close hold. so i hold that soon that'll

be piece sofa of the threat to moldova, has appeared not from the outside, which in the anti government demonstrations in the capital petition, 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 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 is in motion. that would mean that they can provoke rand, including opening the front front. that would mean that they could access the blackfoot 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 and gaining control and they don't need extra. a reason. ready that's 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. any of this you, you accuse the russians of attempting a qu, data against you a government? how close did you come to being toppled? we are much stronger this year. then last year, for instance, when, when the,

the word and you crane started always, if you should so much stronger and we have proof that i always, that you should have been able to prevent pressure from implementing it's scenario . it doesn't mean that these attempts will not continue, but how best did it come? it was to me, i was thing you a visa juice's was 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 would weak institutions. we with close, but our institutions managed to put it 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 our institutions managed to do yet quickly. and there were vigilant enough this, this was not, this hasn't happened. do you feel personally on the threat from nation but uh, you know that a 6 when you come to a position like being the president of a country that i got there was a wreck to the to i from i do feel safe because i have a cynthia, which protects you of talked about the a hybrid wolf that i most go, has apparently distributed large sums of money to all the galks in moldova, essentially, to cause trouble. you would seem to have very powerful enemies here. do you know

who they will? uh, are we talking about a 5th column against you in this country? it's a combination um we have quality issues and people who have been receiving money from russia for years to undermine o. s. h to 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 off the 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 us just for many years, who have the paper issue to, to work against them all the, and states. and now the, the cut up groups which southern legalize that they share the same objective

regression to make this country weak and, and to benefit from that june. the 1st and dozens of european leaders were on parade in mode of his capital. a dazzling unity displayed by the comfortable just most important quality issues, armed with a possible promise of support and the fervent hope that's what 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 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 now 3 last week. and my message to the people of most of our is that we stand by you, we support you every step of the way on your past to the european union. and today i'm glad to announce a new support package for mold in 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 your closer to your opinion. you said recently, we believe we can save our democracy only as part of the e. you is your 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 used 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? 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 especially is being to ukraine and that easiest to be concerned. of course, you suggested most of it might become a full member of the you by 2030, but you could well be out of power by that new party has been posting in the low twenty's for some of this year. isn't that a why wouldn't that be a huge stumbling book to the you? if you've got voted out of office, we made the commitment to be that the way 2030 for the you members sheets. and we showed on may 21st a few days ago that he's popular support when the citizens of one of those i came

to case, you know, came into the street. we have the polling. we have the pulse would show that more than 60 percent of mobile and support the u. accession plan and will continue to work to make sure that the russian for background. and it's this information does not reduce the popular support form for the you integration. but this is an objective which is supported by the majority of the there is no better place to test the public support. and then one of the capitals main markets where day to day concerns clearly trump any disputes, 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 the reset for a lot of this is just so frustrating, you know, didn't know what your new which i thought i knew more good. trustworthy cbs. what thank you for the patience the show me even though that's and then it was ok to know what the show is. oh my know. okay, the new and i see you and i see everything about the distortion. you see what the story is? the boys i know got to middle work, but it's still, it's a challenge, opinion of usage of skaters. him and you suggest that came up with the story as of the problem. but the more you said is the way you might be smear for some sort of

it's, you know, stuff were given in just a few minutes or so to see it was it's not by that number old. um yeah, there's going to be the misleading double surprised the most of the chemical dogs use it on the would you imagine seeing we've tried to do this, but i'm almost a farmer has the proper to really just name me to search the vehicle the motor. so that i bought the 11th to be e waste cookies, if it has any use to go out with them. uh, this is if you want to put it on the table, so just hold on, you know your time. so the guy

who put them up is assuming usually when you who being to meet them in the presume . so let me get this, you, i'll come on, i know even what, what other books to me you can get into the, the, you just have to move in about the most of the blue bus. you have to visit with someone. so what did you start to choose, lee, which in, you know, put out the most close example across the most part lived here most really most quicker. good. despite some warm feelings towards russia, the old communist pests 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 an active, highly motivated opposition block the could we gain power?

if things go badly for the current governments, one of them is the form a promo, sco president, we 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 a pilot. we ask for an interview. he made 2 appointments, were canceled a year ago, prosecutor's job stream with an array of crimes including treason, financial irregularities, and abusive office. using assistive, he's innocent. why the delay and bring him to trial? he says it's political persecution. he has a point person but let's see. he was supported by your criminal in yours and level his fingers that has been openly prefab, supported by the criminal m here and cation on the republic of model. he was

promoted off the russian federation of interest 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 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 and he's proved 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 very probably come from old over we had the only propaganda and infusion of a feeling coughing capacity and total dependence of what i shows 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 stronghold. it's dedicated to upsetting the government's landing program and teaching it in the next elections do within 2 years. it's the city of all, hey, home to the pro must go. sure. parties which is clearly invested heavily to give the people well, from the day we visited, my dozens were arriving by the coach. those at the local federal government party assured me on the minus the cfo knows these products. okay. then from you guys then no,

but we managed to contact him on line that is permanent location. it 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 creating you from each of us because that's a volume that's pretty crazy. so i just gave me 0 you. oh yeah. yeah. i mean 0. you'll do you good for that? yeah. but it keeps yeah, yep. i do just you need to use the dc my button. you thought i never got the desktop. go to it, but z as a upcoming value. you complete the yeah. good to most of them all the bloodshot good level when you get this not to go. yeah, that's a whole lot still, but with god we don't because it yeah. yeah. you mean by you in this country from your business, but you move muskrat westbrook, 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 what he would buy seemed the best choice of goods and would you go to use that for them as was the case in the course it welcome or 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 a few came loose. and if they lose, you lose to we all are those sir your process. it's not about the public off on the on. do you believe that you took but you kind of them to go? do you believe that you kind can win back overland? but russia has occupied, as it wants to even look at the war from right next door to ukraine, back to feel should be helped. should get all the support to the gain. it's 30 thirty's. otherwise we sleep in a world where countries born 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 have anybody. 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 adventure for the criminal, and you think russia will remain a threat for years to come? yes, that's what i believe. and that's right, and that's why the truth, right? and that's why i go with the abilities. very important. what you see is president putin's and game just the large thing better or that back to the unions. probably. so the union or even more. but it's clear that the system between lunch, the country, which is big enough to what kind of basis will it be in the future for west the nation with russia? what, what come that'd be under those circumstances? the democratic world and, and the entire world needs to make sure that, for i showed respect to the territorial integrity of other countries. the other you've said yourself, we remain a threat to mold over, at least well, we're at democracy. so that's a threat to continue. i shall continue to be

a big source of instability for years to come. that's why the content on needs to stay together. and that's why the democratic world needs to work together and just help all the countries, like most of, uh, uh, which one the democracy to survive for us. the easiest way to uh, closer the data or 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 russia. this with bunches throughout 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
