the, the roches invasion of ukraine on february, the 24th 2022 spunk. t is in neighboring all day over with day be next. the day off to the president went on tv, i cetera, cetera. but he didn't, that might have, so i'm going to send you the codes. so instead of doing presidents on the, 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 frontier letter. it's a dramatic situation for our neighboring country because then through the thought of it and for us, it's extremely threatening critics, but i'm then good. it is what i thought have been through noise. the alarm was great, but so was the willingness to help in an industrial area on the outskirts of the capital case, you know, we visit,

i know totally to cosigns company, the own trip that has been helping ukrainian refugees ever since the world began to set up a clothing depot 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 shocked to see a woman dressed only in a nightgown with a blanket around her that had icicles hanging from it to the site itself. it was snowing and freezing cold. and in the middle of a field of a 40 gap as when you'll do them. uh, i called up friends from my village just because you need to be able to use the lots of cars shut off from there. and we brought the 1st $300.00 people there which they did, but after 4 days there was no more room from the assembly. we house of them at our place, my mother's and other relative i me because many in the village took in refugee last year. i know what you're not going to mention to breakfast to be able to do a few months off to the won't be can fund 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 for the $10.00 democrats and the loop. but during the pandemic crisis rose and the wars only made things worse. tools metal and electricity costs are twice as much now. we can no longer get by on our calculated budgeting that as a new modem, because the lease is at zillow. originally, the length 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 i had a band but we haven't sung since the 24th of february 2020 to the

now his music videos i'm traveling all seemed like relics from a former line. the way in his life was great before the war. looking at this, i can hardly believe it. why does this have to happen? ya do 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 on come on off as be more interested in the political situation in moldova, the up at the low store. i thought that trans, mr. yeah, this to the separatist regent. animal. dover is a bit like the don't boss doesn't matter to you. 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 the name of the state, those uh,

that's how this video came about. what the document deals on. it still took away putting you through what is trans mystery you want cuz it's a region that broke away from all dove in the 1990 symbol is which is the international community says it belongs to moldova. but nobody has no control over it and tell you in 1992, a war took place fairly enough, but the russian troops had been stationed there ever since. look forward, it's 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 kazi, a and south of sasha usually is due to lack of the former soviet republics will. does that declared its independence in 1991, the voters of orders to the north eastern south from ukraine and to the west on romania. the small country is also one of europe's poorest.

on the eastern side of the nice, the river lies the self declared greatness drove in mo, dave and republic. better known as trends and history and its 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 moldova has m o d u oriented at this stage, the november 2020 miles son do was elected president. the 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. not just the 2 of them during this,

and we've had to manage many crises emitted to the holidays. and after the election of the new parliament in the forming of the government, we found ourselves confronted with an energy crisis through 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 moldova significant events, including there's great discontent in the populations. use the 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 gen a and her siblings suffer from the poverty that's only getting was here and the war is too close for comfort with them. to do this, they go to the high met hills. not far from here is ukraine. i'm

a product alone of summerville, clay la. hope of seeing you blue. what do you think that is your mind? we were extremely concerned when the war started, the selection of the likelihood explosions. and the distance concern is to those who new content and we were scared, eligibility and had our suitcases packed and ready to of you know, we didn't know what would happen next is nice because of the rules and we stuff given user 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 visits brenda, to have somebody else's side of the river, must go to the border control. the pensioner. this is the old day before the land and its people were separated to the village of beloved she on the opposite

bank with belongs to trenton history through the. okay, so it's a russian speaking village problem with the nearby is throw. yes, 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 know if you're watching kind of show little of 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 separatist region line. former 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 points stopped by so called russian peacekeepers. you kind of get those as if you like, i do for us, the residents of these villages, the sides of what's annoying to have to drive through here. slowly jim's st. jude often because sometimes they perform checks and harass people. ready of course, the check points should have been removed long ago. you will call the 2 sites the nothing difficult but a little 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, bullshit of since 19 set multiplicities cutty, at any of us, raise people in the village we're estimating ukrainians. russians, usability ongoing. carfax, whereas or by johnny's, i, him of what that is the day we live with a variety of ethnic groups. but to move to luna, we'd need the city to is this is anna totally depot science 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 as being a source of conflict in his country. what language did use because of the child to goals and help him with that? with romanian 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 a little cut out for noise. did you feel what did they say? she'd be a no, no, no she but the drawers they called yesterday, determined to go go holics up on the map of dirty models. and but the animosity goes beyond the language,

pull economic conditions of also cause trying, mold evans hoped, independence would boost the economy. and betcha that lines, but so far they've reached no benefits. use it much either way. i'm a little dazed for it to people are hugely disappointed because we stumble from one crisis to the next. we'll commit to is done in the last 30 years. we haven't experience to do any lengthy period of disability for developmental diet. 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 down cool the meat so used to do them, and you did that though. when the design it is to many people in this area are pro russian leaning. let me look some i think they're being manipulated because they only watch rush into the station normal. even though i have no other explanation energy that they don't know, there's disappointment, and the propaganda simply works very well. 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 demonte the resignation of president my ascend. they taunted, we all the people this must. a stop, we the major resignation. resigned the crown parents, the pro russian propaganda that it's not the rule that's driving insulation,

but the motive in government since my assigned to 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. in the parking lot, she shouldn't crawl depending on her needs to be like a talk room. in fact, i'm forgetting your was hoping that we can do 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 t v and facebook. the just how much

outside influence is behind the pro task mode. that as president takes a clear stands for this, the most loose and the protests we're 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. if we've seen, didn't buy need to go to young. meanwhile, they're leading luxurious lives abroad. and using people to destabilize the situation in this country, disability is received by chance. i'd like to be as politician, eli, 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 and societies divine and the effects of the wall are becoming increasingly evident in this fall from wealthy country. although that was almost completely reliance on russian gas, but russia is launch the stay down from gas from height to prices while drastically reducing deliveries. last phone, it threatened to cut off multitasking supplying altogether. electricity was often in short supply to the patches that the challenge of caring for the influx of ukrainian refugees close to $100000.00 of them have been living in moldova for months. a huge number given mold type is total population is just 2600000. the country likes the result 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 inside that ukraine. in june 2022 montalvo was granted e u candidate status. and in the u parliament, my assigned it was loaded a pro european stones. this war was caused precisely, by jove. what do you think of designs? 3 se pages. 2 divided into space, i'll say, and friends to seize that, he thought he, we supported the sovereignty until he thought aly integrity of the plane. as we always the guy, mia, is you crazy? don't boss. is ukraine key of the the song lead the timing to they bought over the c will 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 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 kind of not done that 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 montgomery elaina janae's experiences. note mine selected kinds many such instances of corruption have made the people have been quite a few get rich,

most multi venza growing poor. since gas prices have shown topped elaina chain, a cook's on the woodstove and how cold you on a pension is only around $100.00 euro's a month. so she and her relatives must rely on themselves and each other to get by the people. we have children living abroad who help us with money from that we buy, but we need to get we couldn't survive a week on our pensions, but in all 3 years from 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 brothers in moscow. my cousins to so i cuz my sister has a daughter, you know, you know, i'm the daughter in italy story and she married someone there. we rarely see each

other that's life. these days now softer, good for people. leaders, initials, the young people, the 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 with set daily rights, the business for staying overnight. the police kept an eye on developments, but didn't intervene. these demonstrate to support populist politician, eli ensure he's been convicted of stealing a $1000000000.00, remote dove, and banks money's vanished, and he didn't show his flat the country. he's been sentenced to 15 years in jail in

ab sent to you and tony a few punches by dentist, a vince to the protesters. why isn't show here with you? he wrote 3 banks. i don't believe that since you entered politics, he's never forgotten. the people only imagine didn't use the book a new just re elected maya. sand do not want the did the people electra? yes, the people are here. we agree with her. we're only you, you know, others to where are the others, the network and your not your being paid to 400 lake per day, 2000 for the night. 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 notice that in the tent camp, the screen was showing 10 advised propaganda. what the time line show is on the

present station tv 6 is owned by one of his supporters disseminates pro russian propaganda. the content is similar to want shown to people in transmit street. we're not there now to film officially and this separatist territory. we're only allowed to visit as tourists for a maximum of 10 hours. so we're filming with a hidden camera to guide maxime to mac lips and works in trance. and these pre owned be contacted several tool guides. but he was the only one waiting to show us around, under the circumstances. most me to 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. look what happens

on the other side of the river doesn't affect us. beautiful trends and history is closer to russia in spirit lose. a small dove is closer to your move around. 500000 people live in his break away region, which is politically and economically reliance on russia. most of the people here also have russian citizenship. transmission area is possibly populated, and people mainly live symphonic. 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 trends

in history. we had for the tobacco smoke i munition deb, it's thought to be one of the largest in eastern europe, causing 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. the new, the copy with this after the collapse of the soviet union is a little trans mystery inherited by the fiscal seals of frustrating unites. it's closely monitored by our justice department and russian peacekeepers going to more than the reports and go to cc me as an, as 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 will see the news and you sort of what 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 look with the countries 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 mo, doza, but for the entire region will become on the she ended to now the job. lucy tells me that i wish to trans history, or would it become independent? who shares those trans and history a must become independent proof? the excuse of breeds of near 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 speakers rush interlude you go to the bottom. a set of the white of middle school visit to 1992. the trends in history. a war led to trends and history, a breaking away from all dover. reminders at this time can still be found at the border to the separate his 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 this state or the use of the traces that remain from those times. by the way, as these, the guys drilled 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 out to me the, let's see. so they look locally based. what's happening in ukraine now is familiar

to me to have 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 site at what's happening now. effects me quite deeply go. i mean, a lot of jason sampling used for that project and i totally did co signs causing to punch in the fighting. but then you got to see what was a new it's going to is just that protests approach the village and shot into the air with their machine guns across the front and the residence i'll do it is the next day we went to the police station and they gave us for machine gun, not because we have enough money in putting the money to move, but to hold on market. we use these weapons to mount our defense economic typically, but they're, listen, i'm up to push when the police and reinforcements from case you know, no chip, 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 or i'll do room that way. in 1992, the armed forces that the young republic of most of consisted of no face soldiers and volunteers for the older generation. the memory of these dramatic times is still vivid numbers, not letting me now who must got on pointed to the den or the 1st time i went to the front. i really food kind of, you need, i got to know a policeman. he accompanied me. some of the month to come, no one else would go there fucking 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 sort especially making fire from tree branches. the desk and drawing their clothes themselves. so as go find it that's to equitable though you couldn't feel anything but pity for those poor boy sitting there certain minute. how could i not

bring them to national cheese in this situation when cutting to shut the room off? did she still in the black who one night cause a lot of 2 separate diseases 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, mississippi digital trends and history. a wall with shot and bodies cushion. it remains moved over trance and history. it 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 is on will. once again threatened small diverse french around piece just how much the will in ukraine effects. moldova became clear when russia announced a partial mobilization of military reserve is in september 2022. the

document to young. well, david, man with russian citizenship could be drafted. the user to see 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 catholics down armenia or georgia. rover. come on of documented the exodus but his blog of about because again, the a day before the mobilization took effect,

was that the only border check going to 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 of shell. so that's what this video is about and i see what i'm a look that's the scene of the border needs of the russian mobilization also created a potentially volatile situation for the republica. moved over, especially with transmits trio is consent you study school them will be that there is the danger of a mobilization of loved open citizens in the countries eastern districts. been to this to prevent such actions. we're examining the possibility of revoking them adult and citizenship of those who hold citizenship of both the republic. i'm all dover, russian and the russian federation guide. and who fight on the side of the aggressor?

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 9 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 2022, the boy in ukraine came even close at him. all the pots from the russian miss, i'll find that ukraine landed animal doesn't village near the boat in the blast ways past windows in several houses here in northern moldova. 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 me, but we need to differentiate between who's supporting the war and who is going to ideas. we want to support the new wife power more times cheaper and your crane needs to be at the new grain has no electricity either. what some of the tv boom, 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 cost at the beginning. 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 they for 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'll see. 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 drive in state to compensate pensioners and low income earners for the winters high energy costs? still life remain to struggle. somebody on tripping. uh and tony did cos huh. had to suspend production at his company, the teaching and energy costs with to high. and the order situation was to onsite and your specifics until the started dish we were in a kind of hyper nationwide him at the moment there is no progress, nothing. and we're all waiting for something about it. we just don't know what we just did. there's 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 this depth . our lease any investments are being made. it's a big problem and means we can't develop gesture lending attempted to move past

despite the leak economic situation, kind of tony pika 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 time to reveal the details of an alleged russian plot to over throw her pro european government. she was allotted to the planned qu by 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. i 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 protest. i let aside the so called opposition. i don't want to say for the change of power in case you know that it would be forced. the march 2023, a new ways of pro russian street 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 davis soviet legacy. and with it,

from russia to the roof, uh, come on, attempts to print the test and the capital with concerning the situation in the country is worrying the language is we're always at the forefront. there was source of irritation as i was really close to things. but and badly i 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 laptops, the phrase 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 as of from this year, which i live at 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? could you use 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. so just like us this most and then we're not getting military aggression today. that's hope 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 buena bend

. okay. yeah. so i'm going to see you at the same time. yeah. no 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 that 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. but i'll cut the dimensions, i want everyone to understand on spread when our only route to prosperity, the piece of freedom and stability. this is membership in the european union, the are the one who they were about possible diverse. 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 water under the sand. here in northern africa, life fossil water reservoir on it makes the deserts green and start tiles. but the water supply is limited, or is there a way to use it without to, to have a running dry co africa. in 30 minutes on d w, the

hot calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic that concern us about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w postcard. the view will tell you the story. we have a, getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use force and for the future feelings about what's going on in the instead of being discussed across the continent, dw news africa every friday on the w, the,
