Major reportage, guests and European news are featured in the magazine “We Europeans” (Twitter), presented by Eléonore Gay and broadcast on Sundays at 10:40 a.m. on France 3, as well as late Thursday evenings on France 2. For this new issue of season 3, head to Moldova. This country among the poorest in Europe, populated by Romanian and Russian speakers, has declared a state of emergency after the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army. A former Soviet republic independent since 1991, not part of the European Union or NATO, which fears to suffer an attack in turn.
Since an armed conflict in 1992, a pro-Russian separatist minority has controlled part of its territory, to the east, Transnistria, bordering Ukraine. The Moldovans fear that the war waged by the Russians will spread… The country, which also has to deal with the arrival of tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees, is turning resolutely towards the West, and has just asked for its accession to the European Union.
