the thoughts of hours when we say they're about never getting up every weekend on d w. the good peaceful as h a p is most 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 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, and there is fighting the current moment between ukraine and russia is roughly a 100 kilometers away. the big question dominates here, is where the moldova is missed, the proteins 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. russian messiahs targeting ukraine of floating over moldova . but to those border patrols of watching more for smugglers and people traffic, those were the so the police say they're ready to fight for their country. whoever threatens them. however large the force as for as long as it takes you living next to to huge was do you think you'll ever see peace in this region? we came in the last time. i hope so. but yeah, i'm not sure. i think at this stage, no one thing before of that, but i think everyone wants to to see piece, especially given the fact that as many other assignments, parents on the last think a one that's my child, he is more especially close to home. so i hold that soon, that'll be piece sofa of the threat to moldova,

has appeared not from outside. it's in the anti government demonstrations in the capital tissue. now alongside them a constant stream of cyber attacks. this information on the bottom hopes is that of ruffled the thirties and put them on the defensive rushes hands they say is behind it or what we do to happen for russia to decide that they're coming across your board in force. i'm gonna take control here in moldova, a model of us decision to walk along. they are paying the vendors pass and be a member of the democratic humphrey world. that's exactly already the reason why russia so aggressive here in, in this region. and they can uh for now do it if they manage to change the government by radicalize in the population. that would mean that they can put the various scenarios in 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 the maple troops, and much, much, much more. let's give some extra power negotiations when brussels and when i say brussels, i mean all the capital for you. that means that again in control and they don't need extra a reason. ready that may be true, but for president my assembled in office since 2020 the prospect of direct russian intervention has already come too close for comfort. 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 a much stronger this year then last year, for instance, when, when the, the word and ukraine started always to fusion,

so much stronger. and we have proof that i always that you should have been able to prevent, especially if when we implemented it's scenario, it doesn't mean that these attempts will not continue. but how best did it come? it was to me, i'll speak 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 with 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 lead my some hold of ins. 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? i'm not sure that uh you know that a 6 when you come to a position like being the president of a country that uh huh. they respond back to the q i some i do feel safe because i have a think. yeah. which protects you of. i talked about the hybrid wolf that i most go, has apparently distributed large sums of money to all the galks and all of us centrally 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 assurance and people who have been receiving money from russia for years to undermine o. s. h to build a strong state and the republic of minova, maurice simply some of the cut off groups which before didn't have a dual political color. no joined russia. and it's attends to this the boys, the country. because the interest of the cut up groups are to keep them all the integrate area to have weak institution so that they could continue to still. and they would not be put in place. and they would not respond for the abuses that they've committed in the, in the past. so you have a combination of efforts. now, of those people who have been working for a shift for many years, who have been paid berisha to, to work against the mother and state. 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 the june. the 1st and dozens of european leaders were on parade in mode of his capital. a dazzling unity displayed by the continents most important politicians, armed with a possible promise of support and the fervent hope that's what happened in ukraine won't happen here. commission president, us uniform deadline praise moldova for embodying what she called, your core values. that a sunny day which you showed to was the ukrainian refugees, the resilience which you show to rush as relax mailer and unity which you showed to link your destiny to the european union. it was very moving to see a see of europe in flat here in case you know, it's 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 leave your opinions 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. u. is your democracy, that french are going to do a political situation shows to us that ratio continued to be a big source of instability. so years to come and actually it has been posing threats to our democracy and that's why we believe that our democracy will be safe

within the you. we value democracy. we've been fighting hard to protect our democratic institutions. and so, since this is especially to consolidate them, but we see that external challenges can hop significant implications, especially on the small country. like you comforted by the fact that some of the european leaders decided to come here. we honored and we see this as a strong signal of support and you want more than a strong signal of support. you want more than moral support. don't you want the 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 book to the you? if you got voted out of office, we made the commitment to be that'd be by 2030 for the you members sheets. and we showed on may 21st a few days ago that he's popular support when the citizens have one of those i came to case, you know,

came into the street. we have the polling. we have the pulse which show that more than 60 percent of mobile and support the you accession plan and will continue to work to make sure that the russian for background. and it's this information does not reduce the popular support form for the you integration. but this is an objective which is supported by the majority of the there is no better place to test the public support. and then one of the capitals main markets where day to day concerns. clearly trump any 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 tall 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 reason for the lot of it's just so frustrating you didn't know what you're new, which i thought i knew more good. trustworthy, cynthia. what thank you present to share this long on the show even though that's and then it was ok to me, not to so i mean, i know i knew that i see you know about the initial distortion. you say what the story is, the boys and the 2nd got to middle work, but it's still, it's a chill. everything in the research just isn't that that came up with the story here. but the more you said is the way you might do some here for some

sort of us, you know, so particularly in just a few minutes or so that i see it was, it's not bad. that's normal. done. yeah, there's going to be mislead people. scribe the most of the chemical dogs. he's been on the would you imagine seeing we drive around. most of them are who, who really seem to be i to my vehicle, the motor so that i bought the 11th to me. e waste. cookies a bit. is there any is go out with them. uh, this is if you want to click on this, this label switches around, you know your time. so the guy who put them up is assuming, usually when you,

who being to the museum in the fish i'm selling it, fishy. i'll come when i knew even what other books to me you can get into the, the virginia to moving about the most of the blue bus. you had a video for someone. so what did you start to choose, lee? which in, you know, put up the most close example a total assume was what lived here was this much quicker good, despite some good feelings towards russia, the old communist 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 don't, because put in a patriot, he 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 say he was supported by your criminal in years and level his fingers that has been openly prefab, supported by the criminal i'm here in cation on the republican smelled over. he was promoted off the russian federation of interest,

that he was feeling 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 law. he remains innocence, 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 that if i'm to go from and 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 that'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 jorge home to the pro must go sure. policy, which is clearly invested heavily to give the people well fun. the day we visited, most dozens were arriving by the coach load at the local federal. katya sure. i'm on the minus. the cfo knows these products. okay then um, do you guys send no recalls, but i believe we do one to zillow in us, which will uh show from the stoker steve,

when i go to be quoted me or do you know i gave you, would you go to the senior of human that says yes. okay, but my assembled way we can potentially yeah. me see, 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. that is permanent location. it is well,

when 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 it's a volume. it's pretty crazy. sometimes you can e g o you. oh yeah. yeah. i mean 0. you'll do you good for that? yeah. but it keeps me. yeah. yup. i do just need to use the dc more but mute that i never got to go through it, but via the upcoming value. so 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, what's 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 choice of goods. and would you be able to use that for them as was the case in the court? well, or whatever the political battles in moldova, it's the will of 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 pray lose this and if they lose,

you lose to we all are those sir your process. it's not about that public off on the 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 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 respect that anymore. and this is not the world anyone wants to live. it doesn't, the prospect scale the fact that innocent people are being killed every day. any crane, this is something that scares everybody. so that's why we need to help you clean, and we need to make sure that such things don't happen anymore. you don't believe do you, that this is a one off of the venture for 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 threat. and that's why i go with the abilities that important. what you see is president putin's end game here. just a large thing, better that back to the union's, probably. so the union or even more. but it's clear that the system between large, they 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 anti were made just to make sure that if i should respect 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 consolidate 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 school still going to be the that's why the accountability is very important and restaurant should be punished for what it is doing now. and you create the
