the what we have seen and russia is also there. so this is a very complicated, a foreign situation. i think sounds like it's very complicated. i feel like my guys have to leave in their dw, go back, but in dot com. thank you very much. i. it's a thank you for joining us here on dw monique's down the fast fashion as an environmental 9 a clothing graveyard image of land desert. this is where things wealthy industrial nations no longer need and lightest textile waste gets stranded. fashion, watch now on youtube. the most of a country in town,

while this was the scene in march 20234 months. people have taken to the streets in the small republic which borders on ukraine, pro russian and pro european protest is engage in angry stand on the wall and ukraine has polarized small dive and society fee is run high right from the stones at the was the sheer panic people, folks were afraid, it would start happening here to the west of michigan managed, we didn't know what would happen next. mold evans felt threatened. the word was that land was put into the next target. now let me just find the wars really close things. good and badly, all the indications are there. how really is this the end that mold does that might lose its independence? can this small country withstand the pressure from russia,

the or roches invasion of ukraine on february, the 24th 2022 sparks. he is in neighbouring all day with day the next day off to the president went home tv. i said myself, but he didn't. that might have some type of thing going to come. so instead of doing presidents on the, what's happening in our region have a love. i just, we have more in ukraine and military activity near the border of the republic of moldova, the frontier letter. it's a dramatic situation for our neighboring country because in through the side of it and for us, it's extremely threatening critics, but i'm doing good. it is what i thought of and 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 and has been helping ukrainian refugees ever since the war began. he sent up a clothing depot in his factory following a visit to a border crossing on the very 1st day. the wall that would be open to that would be at least to me when we arrived there. i was shocking 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. so to me and in the middle of a field for the gap is when you lose, i'm uh, i called up friends from my village, a promotion a bizarre deal with these big lots of cars, shut off from there. and we brought the 1st $300.00 people there, which did it. but after 4 days there was no more room from the assembly. we house to them at our place, my mother's and other relative mind me because many in the village took in refugee left it in the orchard. nobody mentioned breakfast and be able to take

a few months off at the walk. you can expand, 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 is essential oil plants and his clients in western europe. and that's when it comes to we signed contracts and calculated our pricing, but for the pen demik. so the, during the pandemic price is rosa, and the wars only made things worse to metal and electricity costs are twice as much. now we can no longer get by on our calculated budgeting that as a motion because this is that's the lower the length is also changed radically, but i t x photo and video blanca 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 oaks seemed like relics from a former life most of the way in his life was great before the war and looking at this, i can hardly believe it why does this have to happen? ya do my films travel logged 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 being more interested in the political situation in moldova, the for the long story i thought that trans, mr. you, this, the separatist region involved over 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 more happening here because you know, just it, those. that's how this video came about. what the document deals, products still decoy putting you through what is trans mr. yeah, you want. it's a region that broke away from mold over in the 1990 example is, which is the international community says it belongs to molto but but, and although that has no control over it. in 1992, a war took place. barely enough. russian troops had been stationed there ever since . it's all this makes trans mystery 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 a city like of the former soviet republics, hold of a declared its independence in 1991, the photos of borders to the north east and south from ukraine

and to the west on romania. this small country is also one of europe sports based on the eastern side of the nice. the river lies the south. declared greatness drove in mo, dave and republic. better known as trends and history on its government by separatists loyal to moscow. the in case, you know, the motive and capital pro russian governments wielded power the most of the last 3 decades. but now mulder has a more e u oriented. at this stage. in november 2020, my son too, was elected president. and most important campaign promise was to tackle corruption and poverty. 2 of the country's most pressing problems. but send to came to office in difficult circumstances. not just the 2 of them during this time,

we've had to manage many crises emitted to the polluted and after the election of the new parliament in the forming of the government, we found ourselves confronted with an energy crisis. the 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 mold over significantly. they've been through that. there's great discontent in the population. he's the nimble to media, but all in total and the popularity actually among people in rural areas who be most affected, find the want in ukraine. the village off to rest of the on the west and bang companies to has been home to the gen, 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 to the old days before the land and its people was

separated the bill to jump in love she on the opposite bank with belongs to trenton history, ultimately the oh, okay. so it's a russian speaking village problem with the nearby is through. i ashton, i'm all deals and village. that's how we live with one another. are you doing a blue? there was a lot of exchange across the river. even in the winter over the ice. the city regarding the ice was so thick 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 look. you're watching kind of show move up to 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. like former villages, which remain under motive and administration. and tony dickerson comes from this

area when he visits his home village of caution itself. he must also check point stopped by so called russian peacekeepers. you kind of get those as it gets really kind of for us residents of these villages. besides, it's annoying to have to drive through here, slowly tmz see even after that, because sometimes they perform checks and harass people to be of course, as the check points should have been removed long ago. outage of such that the difficult but a little a 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 use the kind of thing to do to publish it as since my mindset the most. which of these did you have? any of us? raise people in the village we're estimating ukrainians. russians usability, ongoing taxes, whereas or by johnny's i, him of with this day we live with

a variety of ethnic groups that to move to luna. quick easy city to this is anna. totally the co signs, 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 is being a source of conflict in his country. not mind what language to use because a child may ask me to help him with that. with romanian back then it was most open, you know, they wouldn't let us speak mazda 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 open noise and to see what did they say? she didn't know she but the drawers they called yesterday determined to go go holics up on the dirty mode. the no.

but the animosity goes beyond language, pull economic conditions of oversight, coal strikes, mold ovens hoped independence would boost the economy and batch of their lines. but so far they reach 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 it. in the last 30 years, we haven't experienced it to any length, same period of disability for developmental diety and 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 guide and we'll see the total let down those cool. the estimates are used to do them. and you did that though in 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 then 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 protesters, so they could stay around the clock. this afternoon, the crowd suddenly search towards the entrance of the presidential palace demanded the resignation of president my ascend. they taunted, we all the people this must. a start with the major resignation. resign the,

the crown parents, the pro russian propaganda that it's not the rule that striving inflation that the motive and government since my as sand who 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. i knew she shouldn't crawl to put on her knees like a cockroach, and begged him for dead. there was hoping that which is really for the people when wages 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 on the phone. 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 type is precedents. take so 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. i then fled yet the and now they're using the poor by giving them a bit of the money they've stolen from the market. it would seem, didn't buy, need to go to your meanwhile, they're leading, luxurious lives abroad, and using people to destabilize the situation in this country. the 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 in societies divine and the effects of the war becoming increasingly evident in this fall from wealthy country. although that was almost completely reliant on russian gas with russia's launch, the statement from gas from height to prices well, drastically reducing deliveries, last phone and threatened to cut off small davis gas supply altogether. electricity was often in short supply to the patches and the challenge of carrying to the influx of ukrainian refugees close to $100000.00 of them have been living in multi over for months. a huge number given more diverse total population is just

2600000. the country likes the results is to solve all these problems on its own. which is also why moaned days that are applying to join the european union schulty off the russia incited ukraine. in june 2022 montalvo was granted e u. candidate status. and then the you parliament, my assigned it was loaded a pro european stones. this war was caused precisely, by jove. what do you think of designs? 3 saved regions. 2 divided into space also improves to seize 3030. we support the sovereignty unto the thought. l. integrity of the plane. as we always did, could i me a, is you paid the bus? is ukraine. p of the the only

the timing to they bought over the city. you will, we are part of you're the yes and will, 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. no, let us 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 dogs, 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 around that kind of stuff done that a year later, still nothing had changed to i asked the mayor to return our money if it wasn't going to work. but he said the project was now completed and he couldn't give the money back. look at the bottom flash, the montgomery office and they knew chinese experiences. note mice and i see kings. many such instances of

corruption have made the people here in the town. quite a few getting rich most mold, ivan said, growing poor. since gas prices have shown top elaina chain, a cook's on the woodstove in how cold yacht 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 by the american 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. didn't know 3. yes, and this was the best time for, for the assistance but missed their relatives. you might have done lives in the czech republic to hear my brother's in moscow. my cousins to a good idea because 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 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 rates 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 being convicted of stealing a $1000000000.00 for multiplan. banks. money's vanished,

and he didn't show his flat the country. he's been sentenced to 15 years in jail in absent to you and tony. a few pumps has by debt to say vince to the protest as y, as in show here with you. he robbed 3 banks. i don't believe that since you entered politics, he's never forgotten. the people on the legend 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. were only, you know, others to where are the others? the networking who in your, not your being paid to $400.00 lake per day, 2000 for the nights or do you know nothing? why are you working with them? because i'm here because the money's 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, the station tv 6 is owned by one of the supporters, a disseminate pro russian propaganda. the content is similar to want shown to people in trends and history, and we're not allowed to film officially and this separatists 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 trends. and these pre owned be contacted several tool guides, but he was the only one willing to show us around under the circumstances. most me do. 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. the what happens on the other side of the river doesn't affect us. trends in history, a is closer to russia in spirit lose a good, a small dove is closer to your model. but usually around 500000 people live in this break away region, which is politically and economically reliance on russia. most of the people here also have russian citizenship. transmits p a is possibly populated, and people mainly live and farming. the a, the ukrainian florida is never far away. can you me put it on stay. you can see the border posts and this is the border strip between transmit street and ukraine.

southern, there are border patrols here. like in every country in the world, unit. 1500 russian soldiers stationed in france in history. we had for the capacity amunition 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. and that was built during the soviet era and you, the copy of it is after the collapse of the soviet union will, trans mystery inherited it about the fiscal seals of the united states, closely monitored by our justice department and russians. peacekeepers is going to be order them in the reports and we are to cease communicating as the origin. the law has been set about dismantling the depot the pretty much i don't

think that's possible right now without provoking people on one side of the river or the other theater was using use of the one used to get into the building. so let's go with them, so it is of them we can solve the trends in history or 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 between e. we also demand the destruction of the weapon stored in combust now, which pose of great danger, not just for the republic of ball dover, but for the entire region will become on the sheet and the need to know the job with it tells me that i wish to trans industry, it would become independent who shared those trans mystery a must become independent but most stupid 3. it's of live the over the last 30

years. people's views changed. their language is also an off. the goals show because many people here don't speak any romania, we wish to move here. everyone speak russian can do to go to the bottom of the status of what middle school does it give. 1992. the trends and history a warm lead to trends and history, a breaking away from old 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 the, this automated sale or the use of the traces that remain from those times by the way and see if the guys drilled these holes for shooting on sunday. yes. got it. i agree. yeah. you can see the distance between them around 4 meters once they get more because there weren't so many soldiers that usually usually less the board also stationed on the roof of the building and see this was the village of center

and defend. but i, that's out to me. let's see. so the, 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 side. uh, what's happening now effects me quite deeply go. i mean, a lot of the shape simply use it for that product. it is not totally decor, science causing to punch in the fighting. but then you're going to see what kind of issue is and then you gonna just have protests approached 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 had enough money in putting the money to move bottle, hold on, marty. we use these weapons to mount our defense economic typically, but they listen 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, pushed through commercial ship the way in 1992. the armed forces that the young republic of moldova 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 to the dental or the 1st time i went to the front, i was going to bring food, kind of unique. i got to know a policeman. he accompanied me. so let's just let me know what else would go there fucking within me unless i said, i'm not afraid and remember the list should do when we arrived there. much in the boys were sitting in the trenches. what specials, making fire from tree branches, the desk and drawing their clothes themselves. so as go sign it and it gets to

oklahoma for you couldn't feel anything but pity for those poor boy sitting there certain minute. how could i not bring them dinner? no cheese and this addition one, cutty, to shut the room off. did you still on the black to one night cause a lot of separate disease. came with machine guns. definitely meet that on the fire . the whole time we go, there was so much blood that it slowed down the surrounding mississippi digital trends and history. a wall with shot and 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 was once again threatened small diverse franchise and peace 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 desire 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 out a hard time leaving russia is, are it shows them there were long lines there, dual citizenship. and so didn't exempt them from mobilization from yes, it was that they were very nervous. hundreds of thousands of men deemed fate for military service, laughed russia, sophia, being cold on most flat to neighboring countries. to catholic stone, a media or georgia rover come on of documented the x it is his blog

you have about because again, the 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 the yeah, football i spoke with people there and later with a few russians who made it to believe the dump bump shell. so that's what this video is about. and i see what i'm a look that's the scene of the board. and so the russian mobilization also created a potentially volatile situation for the republican mode of especially when it transmits trio is consent. you study school demo visa, there is the danger of a mobilization of loved open citizens in the countries eastern districts. been to this to prevent such actions were examining the possibility of revoking them adult in citizenship,

of those who hold citizenship of both the republic of moldova 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 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 day event. ponce from a russian miss. i'll find that ukraine vantage animal, dove and village near the boat in the vast ways best windows and several houses

here in northern moldova. but no one was injured, ukraine's ante and cross system a chump down the rush and miss sile president. sand too came to see the situation for herself. the missile came from ukraine and what's a rush it got to do with that. 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 brain needs to be at the new. the new brain has no electricity. you need to deal with some of the, the tv, the tv and the other city. there's no light when you can yet no water. no heat would need died in the winter. the mold jovan government will provide compensation for eating costs at the pena and that is 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 companies this winter will be tough due to the war because prices have risen due to the war, missed it. we're a small country and we need to fix together in these tough time slows. maybe we can 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 so most on tripping a and i totally do cos huh. had to suspend production at his company, the teaching and energy costs with to high. and the order situation was to onset and your specifics until until started you see we were in a kind of hybrid 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 that step. hardly any investments are being made. it's

a big problem and means we can't develop gesture learning attempt isabel's task. despite the leak economic situation, tony take her sauce bills, opponents ukrainian refugees. but the how much longer he to needs to see some design. so at the end of the tunnel in february 2023, both of us, the ability to be increasingly present president miles tend to reveal the details of an alleged russian plot to over throw her pro european government. she was allotted to the planned coo 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 letter. there was that so you're not doing your name through violent action is disguised as protest aside the so called opposition. i don't want to support the change of power in case you know that it would be forced. some of the in 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 adam and voted that it should no longer be called montalvan 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 the soviet legacy and with it, from russia to vote come on except the print test and the capital which concern the situation in the country is we're using the language is we're always at the forefront. there was source of irritation as i was really close to things good and bad. but to all the indications are there, if someone is aiming to aggravate the situation. yes, it's already escalated up. so i'm, i'm quite concerned to see this the me here people is that some of the left us, the price for the 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 like charlie, by 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. would you please, could you use russia really working to promote conflict, to move over in the hopes of bringing down its pro european government reports about the criminal strategy paper containing a concrete action plan to destabilize, moldova, as the junk soil space wilson. then we're not a threatened to military aggression today. the hope my friends will go to see what precisely because russia cannot reach our borders on evidence. yes. been as boy the

criminal is waging a hybrid war against the republicans moldova symptom. question include, luna then to get the i'm going to see at the same time. yeah, no good things are also happens when we bring back the we've managed to make it through the winter of the week of basically despite the guy's problems. blackmail. despite the fact, the prices were very high siders you might want think about the despite the destabilization attempted and since i think a lot, let's call this beta space or dislike rushes, attempts to bring down a democratically elected government the but i'll got the dimensions i want everyone to understand on spread when our only route to prosperity, the piece of freedom and stability is membership in the european union and the other one today. what 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 small republic. although that will be fighting for its future for

a long while, took on the, on the the, because i came out of the, the night in detroit this week we are in vegas nigeria. and would you believe me if i told you that this country was 300 as we can do without a bus, that you can sometimes get a phone wait, resulting to try, but the 77 percent in 30 minutes on these w. we love us. we love to does us anything

unusual? no mountain is too high. the road is too long and such a faith, ordinary we all this specialist of lifestyle, 009. in 90 minutes on d w. the get ready for an exciting auditorium full of surprises. i'm shutting down and i'm ready to dive into the house of tillman to us. you have you have a one does not do need to support this card via included us on the vehicle. this proffer and unexpected sized supplies enjoyed the

the this is dw, use life from bullying. dramatic scenes as a us say, a line and makes an emergency landing a window and section of the body blow out in me that there are no reports of any serious injuries. we'll talk to an aviation expert to find out what appears to have happen. as the un says, gaza has become an inhabitable months of all hope displaced almost 2000000 palestinians. each man reveals the next phase and its fight against homicide civilian aid of the triples into the territory. the.
