Transnistria: Moldova's breakaway region in the shadow of war in Ukraine • FRANCE 24 English

- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2022
- With the war in #Ukraine now in its 100th day, we focus on the situation in #Transnistria, a small breakaway region of #Moldova on Ukraine’s south-western border. Western countries suspect the region of acting as a rear base for the Russian military. The separatist enclave, which has claimed its independence since the fall of the Soviet Union, is located near the strategic Ukrainian port city of Odesa on the Black Sea. Our reporter Lauriane Dherbecourt gained rare access to Transnistria, which for now refuses to take part in the conflict in Ukraine. She discovered a land whose people are torn between East and West.

If Putler has his way, Moldova won’t have a say in what happens to them either. I would recommend that you do not portray Transnistria as a victim. After all, they have more troops than the Moldovans.
@@vutruong7761 not true....
@@vutruong7761 where do you get your info from? Get educated!
Exactly
Moldova has no army ?
Transnistria seems a little like North Korea. An isolated communist state stuck in the past from 30-40 years ago.
But they may be coming up to date soon!
I'm transnistrian and I can tell u that we are making progress 😌
@@cosdache 🤣
come to us in Transnistria, preferably in the summer, and make sure that the picture from the screen depicts reality a little distorted. there are kind people in Pridnestrovie, delicious food, a lot of fruits, beautiful nature and yes, we have capitalism)
You should also have taken interviews from Moldovans(Romanians) who were forced to flee in 1992, and also the ones that are still there in Transnistria and are banned to speak their native tongue - Romanian.
Fake statement! Nobody is banned to speak
@@ce8042 of course, you are telling me who knows it from first person accounts? Moldovans are treated as 3rd grade citizens there!
@@nicolaeprisacaru5759 I am from Pridnestrovie and know a lot of moldovans who are rich, famous and serve as policymakers in the region. There are no language restrictions
@@ce8042 And they all speak Romanian/Moldovan over there, yeah sure, who do you think will believe that? I have a lot of friends who had to run for their lives from there.
Oh wait, what about human rights? - nonexistent! What about being able to protest against the local russian puppet government? - Direct path to imprisonment and tortures. Will you say this is not true? What about the law from last month to ban Transnistrians from accessing the European court of Human rights? Will you say that is not true either?
@@ce8042 is there a smugglers paradise again?
Transnistria, a Romanian territory which was broken into 2 pieces R.Moldova and then further Transnistria. Romanians do not even dream of ever getting that land back, the Romanians left there were Russified long ago or else deported to Siberia and the ones that are still there to this date are called Moldovans. The ones who did not cooperate with the Soviets were murdered. That's one thing Transnistrians will never ever tell you.
Exactly ! Putin's excuse for his land grabs are baseless....It's like if America decided to invade Britain because they speak English...May Good overcome Evil and expel these Russian Tyrants from Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine..STAY STRONG ..🇦🇺
true.
Transnistria was never Romanian territory. It used to be Ukranian territory. Look it up
@@kxenia7852 Transnistria was never Romanian or Ukrainian. It always belonged to the Russians then the Soviet Union, incorporated into the Ukrainian SSR , in 1924 the Soviets (Russians) created the Moldavian ASSR within the Ukrainian SSR in order to claim rights to Romanian Moldova.
What a fake statements you have used here! Because of such extreme and false positions there are military conflicts all around the world
Putler will keep his Soviet claws anywhere he can.
I would recommend you to come to visit Transistria, people there are amazing, since there not so much tourists, you will get treated like a special person.
Have you seen videos of bloggers trying to go there? Secret police everywhere and not made easy for tourists :D
I think that you don't really know what you are saying!!!
@@valentinatrofimov9143 care secret police? What are u talkin about
Foolish advice. Separatist places like Transnistria that have no international recognition and that do not abide by international law deserve no tourists. They need to be isolated until they come to their senses.
A good report. Transnistria or Pridnestrovie as we call it can be a bridge between West and East dealing with everyone as peaceful nation. Ask me if you want to know some additional info - I am from this region
No view from Moldova is presented. Confederation seems to be a solution. Teritorial connection with Russia? How on Earth??? There is a sovereign country in between. Its name is Ukraine.
Beautiful region with Nice people. Most of the world don't know about this region and its complexity. Maldova also should make every possible effort not be a party in this conflict. Cropping up of Ultra nationalist right wingers of both of the sides having emotions of HATE given air by world military powers with help of these main stream MEDIA an extended arm of their war machine put the whole area into danger.Time for political leadership of Maldova to show their mantle & statesmanship to save their people from this bloody conflict.
Yeah that text message definitely feels authentic. Let me tell you how I know that it's fake. Because nobody here has a strong enough identity of moldovan I feel like fighting and become a terrorist for that ideology. If you would say glory to Great Romania it would be more believable. Has about 35% of people here believe that we should reunify with Romania.
That text is the prelude for a false flag Russian op
@@marilenaganea6578 exactly!
@@marilenaganea6578 Or a Ukrainian provocation? They did work together with the Russians in 1990s and invaded Moldova to stop it from declaring independence and re-uniting with Romania
Thanks France News 24 for sharing other side of the border’s news. We want to know about Russian supporters view as well. We want to know about both party's thought.
Great Reporting!
Transnistria is Russian in all shape and forms. It has Russian troops stationed there. There is no "suspicion" of them backing Moscow...it is a fact, that they are.
❤the maths teacher !
What is it an enclave of? Is it possible journalists still don't know what that word means?
I like Transnistria. Nice place with plenty of opportunities if you have a bit of cash and are good with languages.
"opportunities" like what?
Lawless place with lots of organized crime and human trafficking, which most visitors have no idea is happening. Please do your research before trying to promote such places.
Meanwhile, every European country is still secretly trading with Russia lmao
Great documentary, well done
Security guard in a restaurant!! Probably tells you everything you need to know about this place!
Western scammers are not better
There are security guards in US restaurants, too.
Why can't people let them be? I'm western American, but I don't know why
We have fuk with everyone's life thinking every one wants to live like us!
If the people want to live in the so called past let them! That security guard
goes home after work to an attractive wife, eats dinner, watches news, and
a decent looking apt. I saw nice automobiles Toyota's etc. hell I'm kinda
jealous, wish I had enough money to move. Unfortunately here in the good
United States we can't afford gas or food if there is any on the shelf! Well
I better stop before I get banned, so much for the 1st amendment!
👍
To sad and there is no answer!
Same thing if western see the Russia side of view may also unpalatable
I have a suggestion, why don't these peoples Tranistria can relocate to Crimea so they can live close to their pal Russia and let Ukraine have that territory, it like a fair land trade. After that Ukraine can make deal with Moldova. Every body win and won't have a conflict🤓. That part of land very hostile and dangerous for both Ukraine and Moldova if Russia somehow reach it hand😳
let ukraine what..?? ukraine doesnt claim Tranistria .. moldova does
Ask yourself the very same question:Why don't Taiwanese move to US so China can get the island??
@@vutruong7761 except that in that particular situation Russian people are colonizers, political entity name changed but it was already Russian people taking lands while locals got deported or were forced to flee.
@@vodkaboy Are you talking about native american?
@@vutruong7761 😆😆 Meoris of Newzeland, Hawaiian, Mayans, Marshal islanders etc.etc.also,the list is long😆
It is funy how also Russia didnt acknowledge trans-nistria as a country so why the love for russia? :) that's a part of Moldova , and yes Moldova used to be a big chunk of Romania till the russian imperialist took it by force, i as a romanian i hate Russia and hate everrything it means -aggresor ,all its history
Transnistria was never romanian land. It was ukranian land stolen by communists.
one sided russian propaganda ,so french
Go hard boiari.... xoxo

An English teacher expressing herself with "phew, phew" and proud of her Russian education....
Shame on you for such a comment. She is a peacefull teacher, not a military translator. Also a region is isolated from the world for 30 years - she has a little practice of conversation with english-speakers
Transnistrian English teacher .... nuf said
the reporter is none the wiser ,hasn't he heard of hackers scammers sending all hoax messages ALL around the world
guess she's got a bomb in the school like we "have" parcel deliveries every other day 🤣🤣🤣
please try to find people that are able to speak English.. it would help to understand the whole story.
Bonjour à Vous
Je suis pas d'accord que vous proposez au partage de mes œuvres c'est pas un héritage ou un don public ausuels on discute ou on se concerté pou le partage. Je vous prie de respecter les règles de d'odontologie et le propriété intellectuelle.
Imagine in June 2022 actually wanting to become part of Russia🤪🤦🏿♀️
I hope no one is supporting an "Algeria" type of war
How is she an English teacher when she doesn't know the English words for things she is trying to use and her English is soooo bad? The level of education there is so bad and it's so convenient for the Russian Federation. But totally fine them going to the motherland, however I'm willing to bet they will go to Europe after their stay in Northern Moldova :D the Mom seems less brainwashed than the daughter. And, they love Russia, but it's Moldova paying their gas bill, what the hell, shouldn't Russia take care of "it's people"?
Transnistria is actually Ukranian territory but was awarded to Moldova after the dissolution of USSR, in exchange for Moldova's northern and southern regions. You can say that Ukraine got the better deal.
Ukraine doesnt exist..you mean russian territory?
Z!
Not true
@@sator3946 Yes it is, but you can't handle the truth.
@@DM-lm5lw Grow up!
8.03 😅 I like how they put Putin's name on the Ukrainian flag 🤣 ...I've seen one morron in Oz land too with one stuck to his car window (hope he still has the window 😂)
The( teacher's )mother speaks the truth - many Ukrainians, Russian speaking, exiled to Croatia, although not agreeing with the war collaterals and destruction, they are not against Putin and agree with him (Z boy made life hard for them) but yeah no reporter will show you "those" interviews
They've got 700 million of depts for Russian gas🤓 Can they, please, pay us our money finally?
Your money is going to Ukraine. Russias economy is going down
What are you talking about? Maybe you consider debt of Moldova?
@@ce8042 I'm sorry for my poor English. Moldova didn't pay for Russian gas for years. They have to pay 700 million to Gazprom but refuse🤓
@@spleensthecat8776 keep dreaming :) The western investers left their property in Russia I mean machinery, plants, factories well equiped :)
@@StPiter111 racketing, classic.
Lol lol lol lol
Moldova looks like a great NATO base 😁
Not possible
Yeah its all leading up to it. The president has recieved her fat check from Blinken
@@kxenia7852 The president is a Harvard educated woman who is doing everything possible to bring democratic reforms to Moldova in line with EU standards. Nothing to sneer at.
@@Alex-ez1lk define democratic
@@kxenia7852 it works only with democratic rules and mindset
June 4 - Ukraine - Zelensky - Crimea is Ukraine's now you must work from south to go north - heavy artillery's and drones this way nobody can come up behind from the south force Russia north work hard big bombs do not stop go heavy up north to the middle make a big opening with
soldiers & howitzers get the men up south to north Jets can help now you got it now now
Yes because you're all telling lies and no you are
There's no such thing as Moldovan nationalists LOL.
There is, it's called romanians! ;) - Romania
If they want fertilizer then ask Russia. Not the world's problem. Either you are socialist/communist or not.
Just read the news that India supplies 35 thousand tons of fertilizers to economically down Sri Lanka.Whats wrong in this exchange the necessities on reciprocal basis ? Whole world have been doing business with communist China, Vietnam ?
@@rdsc.455 My point was Russia should be taking care of them if that's what they want. Doing business is different than wanting to be a part of a country that is invading another.
We done Russia
🤣
