Tensions mounting in Moldova amid war in Ukraine | DW News

- čas přidán 7. 03. 2023
- Moldova was the first country after the collapse of the Soviet Union in which Russia supported separatists, provoking a bloody war that lasted for several months in 1992. The result was a frozen conflict, with pro-Moscow forces ruling Transnistria, a narrow strip of land in the east of Moldova that is home to many Russian speakers, for more than three decades. About 2,000 Russian soldiers are still stationed there. Concerns have been raised in Moldova as a result of ongoing economic hardship among the population - and the war in Ukraine.

"I have never been to Europe." This is the mentality that we are up against.

@@mmeijer635 also explains why so many dumb Westerners who have never been to Russia simply assume that things are worse in Russia
That part was OK. But then saying that Russia, in comparison to Europe, is better is utter nonsense.
Said while in part of Europe.
"Haven't been to Europe....but I'd say Russia is better"
Bulletproof reasoning right there.
Also wont move to Russia.... out of Moldova.....
Well , I don't think she will walk with green head , tattoo covered , Z gen LGBT members 😂.
If you look closely, most of the protesters are old people who likes the former soviet union looking at their happy old soviet lives while young people are pro EU.

Republic of Moldova is simply the eastern half of Romania's Moldova region (which is much larger), invaded by USSR in 1940, thus drawing Romania in WW2 on the Axis side. But the official language in Republic of Moldova is still Romanian! 82% of its population is Romanian and speaks Romanian as it's mother tongue. They study "ROMANIAN language and literature" and "History of ROMANIANS" as compulsory subjects in Moldovan schools. In fact, Principality of Moldova became in 1859 a founding member of Romania when it decided to unify with Wallachia, under a MOLDOVAN prince! About 50% of the population of Republic of Moldova have applied for and received Romanian citizenship, arguing that their forefathers have lost it unjustly during Soviet occupation. Not only does Republic of Moldova and Romania have the same flag, but they had the same anthem as well until 1994!

You are right Gigi and if both Romania and Moldova remained neutral even Russia probably would acquiesce to reunification as they pose no threat but since Romania has chosen to join NATO and allow its country to be a base of operations for the Ukraine war this will not happen in the foreseeable future. Of course if they did reunite they would probably have to let Transnistria go its own way.
Pretty soon, Russia will be claiming convenience stores in Brooklyn.

Russia should realize that it has met more than its match in Ukraine. Why stir up more trouble for itself in Moldova and get more world condemnation. Putin is truly out of his mind.
Western sanctions are useless against Russia and the Russians keep gaining more territory in Ukraine each passing day, Putin simply doesn't care, he knows he'll get what he wants
Look at what's really happening in Bakhmut not what the MSM says. Ukraine has been winning the past 11 months yet it's now losing Bakhmut at a great cost. Its called a meat grinder for a reason. You still take this Western MSM as your primary source of what's happening in the war? The US will fight this war to the last Ukranian as they say
He is not the brightest and he is also very desperate. He is affraid that he will be toppled this year. If the cancer doesn't get him first.
Out of his mind and out of his depth.
Putin is a Soviet relic, a person from an era when everything could be solved with violence. He's not very sharp when he's taken out of his element.
Just as a reminder, when he worked for the KGB in Dresden he was a pencil pusher. He was responsible for funding terrorist groups who activated in Western Europe.
The Romanians must be watching this closely. They and the Ukrainians could help Moldova straighten this out.
When I've been in Romania last summer, I sadly found a lot of pro-Russian sentiment there :/

Now might be a good time for Moldova to take back Transnistria.. I don’t think Russia could handle fighting on two different fronts at the moment.
With which Army? The whole population of Moldova is 2M with less than 5K service men. It will be difficult

@@dailylearning1706 True, but I think there are supposed to only be around 1,500 Russian "Peace Keepers" there. I'm sure even Moldova can take on those numbers. Of course, if Russia HAS been secretly smuggling in troops via the Pro-Russian party it might be a bit harder. However, that would make it imperative that they do so before they can attack first.
Transnistria doesn’t want to be with Moldova. 99% of people there speak Russian, most of them have Russian passports, they always say they want to be with Russia.

So typical of what the Russian government has been doing to former Russian territories. The majority of the people in those territories, now separate countries, do not want anything to do with Russia so the latter fosters and promotes conflict by supporting the minority that does. Eventually it will declare that minority to be oppressed, support them financially then militarily and then finally move in and illegally annex the country back into the motherland. The current iteration of this is happening in Ukraine.

You obviously live in a different reality..

They need to fix their economy
They need to ask Ukraine to make a joint military operation to take out the two Russian bases in the occupied region. The cold war stockpile of ammunition they are guarding would be very useful to Ukraine as "payment" for their assistance.
"I've never been to Europe myself but I've been to Russia..." standing in Europe....
Terrible translation
Forget Moldova, even Germany can be on Putin's list. Be grateful to Ukraine for standing up to the fight so folks like you can sit comfortably and do your commentary.
I highly doubt Russia would ever want to go at war with Germany, it wouldn't stand a chance these days. And I am talking about a 1:1 between Germany and Russia.
I would question why Russia wants to enter another war against Moldova while it is already in a war against Ukraine? Especially the Russian troop in Moldova is of a small number (a few thousands) and it is separated by Ukraine troop of a larger number.
They are not trying to start a war, they are trying to take over the government, in the style they did in Crimea.
In the meantime Russia would not mind to take control of the government and create another Belarus puppet state from which to invade Ukraine.
And if Ukraine falls, for sure Moldova will be next to be conquered as it is not in NATO so for the taking for the ruZZian orcs.
If the threat is credible, it binds much more forces in Romania and in Ukraine than are necessary in transnistria. So having some protests, skirmishes etc. is strategically profitable for Russia.
And Russian retaliation after a Moldovan/Ukrainian/Romanian strike in transnistria *is* credible, because cobasna in transnistria is/was one of the largest Russian arms depots in the USSR - so russia knows that NATO won't actively attack transnistria.
Therefore stirring sh* in transnistria is actually a very good if somewhat desperate strategy for Russia.

@Cagdas Y no I haven't.i literally started saying ukraine lost in Jan this year til now. I've been saying since Jan this year no tanks. You're just mad myself and other Americans have made sure basically Russia will win when the usa want it to win. Ukraine is nothing more then a testing ground with no American life lost. It's great we can send what we want to test then when we're dine testing we can leave in the middle of the night from Ukraine. You think the usa is invested in ukraine?? No we were invested in Afghanistan and we left in the middle of the night and we Americans told no one when we did it. Not even the uk
@Cagdas Y and my comment is about how we in the us miliatry are given 30 days off even during war.. and only loosers don't give time off during war. Ukraine is a looser. You mad that those are true claims as well. Lmao where you from? I bet your country might need American aid more then Americans need you.. wpuld you want to place a bet if you'll get your aid after the new us president is elected
@@scott.baierscott2198 Yeah yeah yeah. As I said, aaaaaaaany day now. Keep dreaming. Tanks are coming soon and US is not changing course before they bleed Russia to death whatever your wishful thinking is. I just can't wait for the spring offensive.
How, with bow and arrow, they are running out of ammunition
how will they getthere?
Kind of hard to invade when you have no ammo 🤷♂️
If they had no ammo the war would be over🤣
What does Moldova have???😂
I just noticed most of the protesters are older women. Interesting.
Also, this is the time for Moldova to recover Transnistria, not when Russia recovers from the Ukraine War, it is now or say Goodbye to the Region
Moldovans should have joined Romania 30 years ago
As a moldovan I can inform you that the protesters are mostly old and/or joblesspeople, who are being taken advantage of by the thief Ilan Shor because of their unfortunate financial situations. Those people are participating in these "protests" for financial reasons, as they are rounded up from villages and are being paid 10 to 50 dollars for their presence.
As a man I would not appear to be or against any movement that can threaten me and my families lives... Men hide because they are rational. Who is for or against has very serious consequences for men.
@@iv2050 we demand reunification of Moldova with Romania!!!
@@iv2050 Cool movie 🤟 What is the name of that drama movie ? 🤣
Didn't the transnistrian conflict start because moldovans wanted to join romania those 30 years ago?
of course he is
Moldova, I hope you keep your cool!
My wife is from Moldova near the Romanian border. They are pro Europe but they prefer to avoid conflict with Russia. At the end of the day the cost of liberation is not worth it if they die. Moldova actually is very corrupt and poor and nothing will change if it’s controlled by Russia or a corrupt Moldovan government and regardless of what happens the government will always be corrupt
If she looks anything like Diana Popa you are a very lucky man.
Are you saying Maia Sandu is corrupt?
Unfortunately if things turn bad in moldova, we'd really have to assist them as well. Being that they neighbour ukraine if the russians take over Moldova, it gives them another angle for attack on ukraine and would greatly increase the chances of being surrounded and with the amount of investment in ukraines defence it's not something the west will want to give up on. The best chance they have to prevent this is by working with the Ukranian government and seeing if they can squeeze transnistria from both sides flushing out the russians stationed there.
How does Russia even get to Moldova before taking Ukraine first.
Russia can't beat one country how do they fight two countries?
Romania will step in.
@@JoelGarcia-rw3nx Wish they would, but it would mean that NATO gets involved, which would not happen.
Sign up to die then, instead of warmongering on the internet. This isn't some football game.
You are wrong, russians could not take over Moldova but they could try to change actual government and have a pro-russian government there. Moldova is surrounded by Ukraine and Romania, no Russian plane and boat could enter there! Their only available men are 1500 Russian soldiers in Transnistria and some thousands from separatist militias.
A couple of New battle fronts would make it more difficult.
People should decide what they want
The transmissions or whatever they call themselves will be eating insects when Russian collapses
155,000 russian occupiers killed so far 😱
your source?
Why is? It already was! The question is how to get them out of there.
Moldova should join Romania NOW, this month. As a province, an independanttly administered region of Romania, defacto joining the EU and Nato in a simple political procedure.
Republic of Moldova is simply the eastern half of Romania's Moldova region (which is much larger), invaded by USSR in 1940, thus drawing Romania in WW2 on the Axis side. But the official language in Republic of Moldova is still Romanian! 82% of its population is Romanian and speaks Romanian as it's mother tongue. They study "ROMANIAN language and literature" and "History of ROMANIANS" as compulsory subjects in Moldovan schools. In fact, Principality of Moldova became in 1859 a founding member of Romania when it decided to unify with Wallachia, under a MOLDOVAN prince! About 50% of the population of Republic of Moldova have applied for and received Romanian citizenship, arguing that their forefathers have lost it unjustly during Soviet occupation. Not only does Republic of Moldova and Romania have the same flag, but they had the same anthem as well until 1994!
Anybody in Moldova, who likes Russia, can move to Russia.
It's anyway only the usual "older generation" who lived already as an adult in Soviet times in the provinces. Not much to say, used to keep mouth shut, guaranteed low level income and below average work requirements. Similar "nostalgia" in all Eastern Europe, with simple minded people around 60 and older - to be honest, the easiest solution is the natural one - at some point in the near future they die.
That's why the Russians are so desperate, they know this. Their time expire.
Ты что вообще такое, чтобы указывать людям, куда им ехать?
I know where you can go. 🔥😈🔥
Spx Ram - Нацист. Сам отправляйся подальше.
you forgot to mention that its not just old people but young educated people too who can see what the future of eu will be after this war ends .and transnistira overwhelingly indicated already that they want to join russia .that includes not just old but young people too
GOD 🙏 Moldova and the Baltic Countries! Peter from 🇨🇭❤️🇱🇹
By "Baltic countries" you mean north-east Russia?
Tv series "Jack Ryan" used Moldova as the base for its season 3 story.
LETS GET IT GOING!!!
I came for Ukraine War news. I stayed for Diana Popa.
Forgot to mention in Transylvania has 200 thousands Russian civilian.
I'm in Moldova right now. Arrived here by train from Kyiv like a month ago. Except for a few protests nothing serious is going on. These protests are small in numbers, like 4-5,000 people. Not a serious threat to the stability of the country. Besides, it doesn't make any sense for the Russians to open another front far from their main forces. They have only 1,500 troops in Transnistria.
