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 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 re no longer just a port out for the dividing line between war and peace. russian messiah

targeting ukraine of floating over moldova. but to those border patrols of watching more of a smugglers and people traffic, those will have a sound. 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 your living next to to a 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 assignments around town, the last think a one that's my trial see is more especially close. so i hold that soon, that will be peace,

saw the threat to moldova has appeared not from outside, which in anti government demonstrations in the capital, titian now alongside them. a constant stream of cyber attacks. just 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 most of a model of us decision to walk along. they are paying the vendors pass and be a member of the democratic humphrey world, but successfully already. the reason why russia so aggressive here in, in this region, and they come 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 blackfoot lexis with a new bed and the impress, including the trades, who have different uh, i quite the advantage of submitted the position stuff. nance, proximity with the maple troops and much, much, much more. let's give some extra power negotiations when buffalo. so i'm going to 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 to a government? how close did you come to being tough old we a much stronger this year. then last year, for instance, when, when the, the word and your brain started always to fusion,

so much stronger. and we have proof that i always, that you should have been able to prevent pressure from leanplum and think it's scenario. it doesn't mean that these attempts will not continue, but how best did it come? it was to me how spring you a visa, juice's was tongue notes. and restless plan proved to be not the least sticky notes because especially 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 week's they would week institutions. we with close, but our institutions managed to put it in this scenario. how do we have to stay for how's that 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 it. 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 they 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 q i from i do feel safe because i have it cynthia, which protects you of talked about the a hybrid wolf 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. 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 be of the 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 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 to 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 lady allies 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 happens in ukraine. what would happen here? commission president, 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 now streets 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 due to your opinions. and today i'm glad to announce a new support package for mold along with a double object. 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 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? you want to actual support. we have been benefits, income supports with enough 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 innovation possible and prevent you becoming putin's next target. we do need to be boss 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've got voted out of office, we made the commitment to v 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 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 discipline dreams, d, u membership, top of the list, poverty, unemployment, and rising prices. and the, unless 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 spoken. i prefer my business this is larissa, thought a lot of this is just so frustrating you know. didn't know what your new foot so i thought i knew more good. trustworthy cbs. what thank you for the patience long on the show, even though that's and then it was ok to know what the show is. oh, i know. okay, the new and i see you and i see everything about the initial distortion. you see what the story is? the boys on the 2nd got to middle work, but it's still, it's a challenge, opinion of usage of skaters. him and you've suggested the story here. but the more you said is the way you might be smear for some sort of us, you know,

so particularly in just a few minutes or so to see him was it's not by that normal gum. yeah, there's going to be thing we sleep double surprised the most of the chemical dogs going to use it on the would you imagine seeing we've tried to do this, but i'm almost a farmer who who really just name me to search the vehicle the motor. so that i bought the 11th the to me, the ways, cookies the good is there any is go out with them. uh, this is if you want to click on this site, it will solutions of on, you know, your sometimes to go to god. you can put them up,

it's assuming usable. we need to be in the museum in the presume. so let me get this, you, i'll come when i know what other books to meet in advance you the virginia to move in about 3 weeks of the glue. let's see, it'll be easier for someone to do solutions lee which in you yeah, but yeah me must close example across the most part lived here was this much quicker good. despite some good 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 you go back into the pilot, we ask for an interview. he made 2 appointments. posts 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 the delay and bring him to trial? he says it's political persecution. here's a point. let's see. he was supported by your criminal in years and level 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 federation of interest that he 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 law. he remains innocence until 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, total dependence of but i shows,

we'll adjust policies. we have to let them 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 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. policy, which is clearly invested heavily to give the people well, from the day we visited, my dozens were arriving by the coach though at the local federal government party assured me on the minus i declare, cfo knows the spot. okay. then, um, do you guys then know the game? cuz, but i believe we do one to zillow in us, which will uh, shows and us still,

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 wall 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 in the prospect scale. the fact that even some people are being killed every days in a crate. this is something that scares have anybody. and 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 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 the truth, right? and that's why i go with the abilities. very important. what you see is president putin's and game here. just the large thing, better that back to the unions. probably. so the union or even more, but it's clear that the system between large the country which is big enough to what kind of basis will it be in future for west relations with russia? what, what come, that'd be under those circumstances? the democratic world and, and the entire world, me just to make sure that, for i showed respects the territorial integrity of the countries. that you've said yourself, we remain a threat to mold over, at least while we're at democracy. so, but threats will continue actually will 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 us and just held all the countries like mendoza, uh, which ones 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 school still going to be the that's why accountability is very important and restaurant should be punished for what it is doing now. anything the
