A country in town. While this was the scene in mont, goodness small country withstand the pressure from russia, the roches invasion of ukraine. On february, the 24th 2022 sparks. He is in neighbouring all day over with day the next day off to the president went on tv and i said myself, but he didnt. That might as so im gonna send you an account. So instead of doing president s on the, whats happening in our region have a love. I just, we have more in ukraine and military activity near the border of the republic of mold over the frontier letter. Its a dramatic situation for our neighboring country because they tools out of it and for us its 6 streamlines threatening food expands and 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 dickersons company, the own trip and 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, 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. The site itself, it was snowing and freezing cold. And in the middle of a field of a 40 gap is when you lose them. Uh, i called up a friends from my village just because you need this uh, be able to use the lots of cars that 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 mothers and other relative i me because many in the village took in refugee last year. I know what youre not going to make sure, but ill be able to do a few months after the war began, his band 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 thats when it comes to we signed contracts and calculated our pricing for the pandemic level. But during the pandemic prices rose and the wars only made things worse. Metal and electricity costs are twice as much now. We can no longer get by on our calculated budget and that as the mean you more than because the lease is at the low originally the low. This is also changed radically into i t x boats and video longer volva come on to the when the war started, we stopped making music before we made and publish the music videos with my friends. And now i had a band, but we havent sung since the 24th of february 2022 the now his music videos im traveling all seemed like relics from a form online. The, when his life was great before the war. Looking at this, i can hardly believe it. Why did this have to happen . Ya do my films travel logs in moldova and abroad for ages, but since the war broke out, ive lost all desire to do that. Why its the same stand both on come on off as be more interested in the political situation in moldova, the up at the low store i thought that transmission area, this the separatist region animal. Dover is a bit like the dont boss doesnt 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 a hatred in war happening here because you know, just it, those. Thats how this video came about. What the different deals products still decoy putting you through . What is trans mystery you want . Cuz its a region that broke away from all dove in the 1990 example is which is the International Community says it belongs to molto but but no, dove. It has no control over it. In, in 1992 award took place, fairly enough, good Russian Troops had been stationed there ever since. Look forward, its all this makes trans mystery a comparable to other hotspots in the former soviet union. You me that you dont boss. No go in a car box boss of kazi, a and south of sasha usually is due to lack of the former soviet republics. Hold up a declared its independence in 1991. The voters about is to the north, east and south from ukraine and to the west on romania. The small country is also one of europe support just on the eastern side of the nice the river lies the self declared greatness drove in. Mold dave and republic. Better known as trends in 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 mulder has a more you oriented at this stage. On the november 2020 maya sanders was elected president , the most Important Campaign promise was to tackle corruption and poverty to the countrys most pressing problems. But sanders came to office in difficult circumstances. Not just the 2 of them during this time. Weve 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 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 mold over significant events, including theres 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 off to a rest of the on the west and bang companies to has been home to the chin, a family for generations. Elaina janay and her siblings suffer from the poverty thats only getting was here. And the war is too close for comfort. Of what the kid is if they go to behind that hills, not far from here is ukraine named product a long time ago. Great la, the publishing you blue and the other thing to do is remind we were extremely concerned when the war started, the selection of the likelihood explosions. And the distance concern is to those who knew competitive we were scared, eligibility and had our suitcases packed and ready to be, you know, some we didnt know what would happen next is nice because of the rules and we stuff given user yes. Even before hand life, it wasnt always easy. Living in a defined, the country has an impact on that daily. Nice. When elaina chan a visits preventative, so me out the side of the river must go through the Border Control the pension. And this is the old days before the land and its people were separated the bill to jump in love. She on the opposite bank with belongs to trends. Mystery, how can i be of those. Okay, so its a russian speaking village problem with that nearby is throwing ashton, im all bills and village. Thats how we live with one another. A doing it blew. 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 to car needs to done. It all worked quite well, let them look. Youre watching kind of show move of the month 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 full villages which remain under motive and administration. And Tony Dickerson comes from this area when he visits his home village of caution. He must also check point stopped by so called russian peacekeepers used to kind of get those as for us, the residents of these villages, the sites its annoying to have to drive through here. Slowly tmz see even the because sometimes they perform checks and harass people. Of course, the check points should have been removed long ago. Mountains or low you accommodate your sites, the nothing difficult but a la la, you are fighting cushion size typical of the republican. Although the in the, all the ethnic groups in our country are represented by, or you can you look, i just want to, to, to, to order to book this year to, since 19 set the most, which of these did you have any of us, raise people in the village were estimating ukrainians. Russians, usability, ongoing taxes, whereas or by johnnys i, him of, with this day we live with a variety of ethnic groups, but to move to liquidity city to 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 is being a source of conflict in his country. That might what language did use because the child doesnt ask them of the problem with that. Whats the romanian back then . It was most open, you know, they wouldnt let us speak mazda oven, even there were a lot of russians at the factory, but we werent permitted to speak in our language really. And the russians were always putting us down. I used to go to the note room is just a little critical noise and to see what did they say . She didnt know she but the drawers they called yesterday, determined to go go holics up on the map of dirty models and um, but the animosity goes beyond language, pull Economic Conditions of also cause frank mal davids hoped independence would boost the economy. And betcha that lines, but so far theyve reached no benefits using the g to why me a little dazed for 2 people are hugely disappointed because we stumbled from one crisis to the next. In the last 30 years, we havent experienced it to 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 its pro european was real russian, it sooner may have been created in at least that says that we see a guide and well see the total let down whos who gets me to used to do so. Im glad 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 theyre being manipulated because they only watch russian to the station normal. Even though i have no other explanation energy that, that in this appointment and the propaganda Assembly Works very well, be of the holidays, disappointment, and discontent could be instrumental lives became evident in september 2022. Then foss 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 saw me search towards the entrance at the president ial palace demanded the resignation of president my ascend. They taunted, we all the people this must stop. We demand your resignation. Resign the, the crown parents, the pro russian propaganda. That its not the rule that striving, inflation that the motive and government since my assigned to came to power we can barely survive prizes of sword. I buy a bottle of kiefer and some bread and live on that for 3 days. And i knew she shouldnt crawl to put on her knees totally like a cockroach and begged him for dang, it was hoping that we can do 3. Who is really for the people when wages war, but he doesnt kill any civilians. Just the kids are most important because i can see that he does everything for the people ive often been in ukraine and even i havent seen any acts of war. The war only takes place on tv and facebook. The just how much outside influence is behind the pro task mold type as president takes a plant stands for this, the because the most place in the protests were 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 theyre using the poor by giving them a bit of the money theyve stolen from them or seen, didnt buy, need to go to young. Meanwhile, theyre leading luxurious lives abroad and using people to destabilize the situation in this country. Disability is utilized. Sounds. Are mike dubious, politician, eli, im sure said to be funding the protest. Sure. Is it, be my us going to do is our president sure. Dont forget you belong in jail. Im here to defend our government if these folks are paid to be here, been killed, their own mother for cash will be the cultures and societies divine. And the effects of the war are becoming increasingly evident in this fall from wealthy country. Although that was almost completely reliance on russian gas with russia as long as you lease data and from gas from hiked prices well, drastically reducing deliveries last phone and threatened to cut off from all divers gas supply altogether. Electricity was often in short supply to the after 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 multiples. Total population is just 2600000. The country likes the result is to solve all these problems on its own, which is also why mon dave, theyre applying to joining the european union, shutting off the russia incited ukraine. In june 2022. Montalvo was prompted e u candidate status. And then you parliament, my assigned it was loaded a pro european stance. This war was caused precisely, by jove. What do you think of the zines . 3 say ages 2 divided into space of the influence to seize 3030. We supported the sovereignty until he thought the integrity of the plane as we always dates. Good idea is you crazy . Dont boss. Is you grade p of the little the only be turning to space spot of the see will we are part of you are the yes small does a still fall from reaching european standards, especially in rural areas to this day, the village of tara sofa has no running water, the 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 buckets for the neighbor, it will only be left with muddy water. Thats how it is in the summer the, the village does have a water station that comes out of the river for an austria on some local residents were also supposed to have access to it. We dont need a neighboring village dogs, which is 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 a year later. Still nothing had changed to i asked the mayor to return our money if it wasnt going to work. So, but he said the project was now completed and he couldnt give the money back. Oh, my gosh, see montgomery. The fun except elaina janaes experience is no isolated kings. Many such instances of corruption have made the people here be quite a few get rich. Most small diamonds that growing for since gas prices have shown top elaina chant, a cooks on the wood stove, in her quote you on a pension is only around 100. 00 euros a month. So she and her relatives must rely on themselves and each other to get by the american people. We have children living abroad who help us with money from that we buy, but we need to know that we couldnt survive a week on our pensions. Didnt know 3, yes. And this. Whats the best time phone for the assistance but missed their relatives . You might have done lives in the Czech Republic tissue rather than you my brothers in moscow. My cousins to sort i, because my sister has a daughter, you know, you know, im the daughter in italy story and she married someone there. We rarely send each other. Thats life these days now, softer. Good for people. Leaders, initials, the young people because theres no infrastructure. Usually nothing absolutely nothing. Its also based 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 staying overnight. The police kept an eye on developments, but didnt intervene. These demonstrate to support populist politician, eli ensure hes being convicted of stealing a 1000000000. 00. Remote dove, and banks moneys vanished, and he didnt show his flat the country. Hes been sentenced to 15 years in jail and ive sent to you and tony a few punches by dentist, a vince to the protesters. Y as in shall here with you. He wrote 3 banks. I dont believe that since you entered politics, hes never forgotten. The people only imagine didnt use a book, a new just re elected maya. Sand do not want the did the electra . Yes, the people are here. We agree with her. Were only you, you know, others to where are the others, the networking, who in your, not your being paid them for up to 400. 00 lake per day, 2000 for the night. You know, nothing. Why are you working with them . Because im here because the money is flowing. Where do such the divisions come from . We noticed 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 the supporters. A disseminate pro russian propaganda. The content is similar to want shown to people in transmit street. Were not there now to film officially and as separate as tara training. Were only allowed to visit as tourists for a maximum of 10 hours. So were filming with a hidden camera to guide me seem to mac lips and walks and trends. Nice. Preowned. We contacted several tool guides, but he was the only one willing to show us around under the circumstances. Most me, our media doesnt 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 doesnt affect us. Beautiful trends and history. A is closer to russia in spirit lose a good, a small dove is closer to your move. The blizzard 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 trends and his pre a is possibly populated and people mainly live in farming. The is a ukrainian for the is never far away. You put it on state, you can see the border posts, and this is the border strand between transmit street and you can suck it and there are border patrols here. Like in every country in the world. 1500. 00 russian soldiers stationed in france and history we had for the capacity. I munition deb, its 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. Its a little place which is only known because of its ammunition depot, but that was built during the soviet era. I mean, you the copy of it is after the collapse of the soviet union, just a little trans mystery inherited it about the fiscal. See it was a frustrating. Yeah. Its. Its closely monitored by our Justice Department and russian. The peacekeepers going to be ordered and then the reports and that to cease communicating as the origin. The law has been set about dismantling the depot the pretty much i dont think thats possible right now without provoking people on one side of the river or the other to see the news and use of the ones to get into the building. So lets 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 locate the countries rightful institutions to have been demanding the withdrawal of Russian Troops for decades to detain e. We also demand the destruction of the weapon stored in combust now, which pose of great danger, not just for the republic of mo, dover, but for the entire region will become on the sheet and that are doing 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 school. The dates of lydia for over the last 30 years. Peoples views changed. Their language is also an off. The goals show because many people here dont speak any romania, we wish to move here. Everyone speak russian can do to go to the bottom of status, right of middle school visit to 1992. The trends and history. A warm lead to trends and history. A breaking away from all dover. Reminders at this time can still be found at the border to the separatist territory. In caution, its a heavy fighting took place with the russian army and separatist loyal to moscow on one side, those defending moldova, on the other, to the automated 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 yes. Got it. I agree. Yeah. You can see the distance between them around for me to realize that because there werent so many soldiers that usually usually less the board also stationed on the roof of the building. It see this was the villages interim defend, but i thats out totally. The, lets see. So the, whats 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 peoples tyrants here side, uh, whats happening now effects me quite deeply go, i mean, a lot of the j something. When used for that product, it was not totally decor, science causing to punch in the fighting back. Then youre 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 ill do it is really 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, but to hold on marty, we use these weapons to mount our defense economic typically, but theyre listen, hold up the push when the police and reinforcements from case you know no chip, what does it need . And thats how we werent able to hold off the separate tests and not let them into our village. I dont know if thats true on post pollution michelle chip. What ill do room the way in 1992, the armed forces that the young republic of all the 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 dentist and the 1st time i went to the front and i was going to bring food, kind of unique. I got to know a policeman. He accompanied me. So lets just let me know what else would go there fucking within me unless you, i said, im not afraid. And remember this should do when we arrived there. Much in the boys were sitting in the trenches foot, special making fire from tree branches, the desk and drawing their clothes and songs. So as go find it a desk to oklahoma for you couldnt feel anything but pity for those poor boys sitting there certain minute. How could i not bring them dinner . No cheese in this addition one, cutty to shut the room off. Did you still in the black who, one night . Cuz a lot of separate disease came with machine guns, definitely meant that they fired the whole time. We dont go, there was so much blood that it slowed down this around them. It did. You have to do the transfer, these drill with short cushion. It remains multiplan trance and these tree 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 davis, fragile and peace just how much the will and ukraine effects. Moldova became clear when russia announced a partial mobilization of Military Reserve is in september 2022. The young man to young. Well, david, man with russian citizenship could be drafted. The desire to see is a desert is lets see. Thats 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. So didnt exempt them from mobilization from yes, it was that they were very nervous. Hundreds of thousands of men deemed fate from military service left, russia, sophia, being cold on most flat to neighboring countries. To catholic stone, media, or georgia. Rover come on of documented the exodus, but his blog of 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, you know, football i spoke with people there and later with a few russians who made it to believe the dump bump shell. So thats what this video is about and i see what a but im a look thats the scene. The border needs of the russian mobilization also created a potentially volatile situation for the real popular commode over, especially when it transmits truth is consent you study school then will be that there is the danger of the mobilization of logos and the citizens in the countries eastern districts central august to prevent such options were examining the possibility of revoking them adult and citizenship of those who hold citizenship of both the republican, moldova, russian, and the russian federation, god, and who fight on the side of the aggressor and the store. Oh, i dont know exactly what the leaders of russia and other countries are after, but these conflicts are very similar. Its no coincidence that weve all been divided them with all the over georgia, ukraine, azerbaijan and armenia. Is it a but john sent me now for both come on of the idea that russia is systematic. The dividing these post soviet societies is as obvious as it is disconcerting. The in october 2022. The boy in ukraine came even close at them all the pods from the russian miss. Ill find that ukraine vantage animal, dave and village near the border. The blast ways best windows and several houses here in northern moldova. But no one was injured. Ukraines anti and cross system had shot down the rush and miss sile, the president signed to came to see the situation for himself. The missile came from ukraine and whats a rush it got to do with me, but we need to differentiate between whos supporting the war and who is doing so. I guess we wont support the new wife power 4 times cheaper and your crane never seen yet to be at the near future. No rain has no electricity, but some of the tv, the tv and other cities when theres no light, when you can yet no water, no heat would need died in the winter. The modules and the government will provide compensation for eating costs at the being. Yeah. Theres 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 were suffering our busy mom. We did this only done the visa they went through will be talking due to the war hes about because prices have risen due to the war miss. Were a small country and we need to have sticks together and these tough time slows. Lindsay, we can do it. Well see. Thank you. Meanwhile, the tent camp in front of the parliament has been cleared by the police, but the problems wouldnt 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. Good them all dive in, states compensate pensioners, a low income earners for the winters high energy costs. Still life remain to struggle. Somebody on tripping a and autonomy to cos huh. Had to suspend production to his company. Heating and energy costs with too high and the order situation was to onset and your specifics until into those type of just were in a kind of hybrid nationwide in, at the moment there is no progress, nothing. And were all waiting for. So im thinking about it, we just dont know what we just did. There was no stability as far as our business goes, that we have a few contracts, but theyre on hold because people are waiting to see what happens with this depth. Our lease any investments are being made. Look like its a big problem and means we cant develop. Just should only have to invisible that despite the bleak Economic Situation and tony take a sauce bills, opponents ukrainian refugees. But the how much longer he to needs to see some lines at the end of the tunnel. In february 2023, both of us debility is up 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 coupon 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, there was start, seen us doing your land through violent action is disguised as a protest aside the so called opposition. I dont want to say for the change of power in case you know, that would be forced. The in march 2023. A new ways of pro russian speak perchance began this time. The issue was mel davis official language and what its named ottoman rotate that it should no longer be called mount oven, as it was during soviet times, but rather romania. It was another step taken by parliaments pro european majority to distance itself from all the 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. And the country is were using the language is were always at the forefront there a source of irritation side towards the really close things good and bad. But to all the indications are there, if someone is aiming to aggravate the situation. Yes, its already escalated, im looking it up. So im, im quite concerned to see this in the media people is that some of the laptops, the phrase romanian is our only language. Were 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 because of grown this year, which i live at. The start of the war, the fear was great. Since then weve unfortunately grown used to the war. Now im calmly talking about the fact that something could happen here. So whats the, 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 to print in strategy paper containing a concrete action plan to destabilize moldova, as to just like us this most. And then were not threatened with military aggression today. The hope my friends will go to see what precisely because russia cannot reach our borders on it, then you spend those boy, the kremlin is waging a hybrid war against the republicans. Moldova simple question of good buena then. Okay, yeah, so im going to see you at the same time. Yeah, the good things are also happened as when we bought the weve managed to make it through the winter to be compared to the despite the guys problems. Blackmail, despite the fact that prices were very high, that is, you might want think about this despite the destabilization attempted. And since ive even looked, lets call this beta space or dislike brushes, attempts to bring down a democratically elected government. But ill cut the dimensions that i want everyone to understand on spread one hour, only route to prosperity, the piece, but of freedom and stability. This is membership in the european union. The are the one who they were about a possible diverse eventual extension to the view is still far off. And since the war in ukraine began, its become clear that russia isnt prepared to stop accepting its influence. On this small republic holdover will be fighting for its future for a long while to account the.
