Moldova’s frozen conflict with Russian-backed breakaway region Transnistria – BBC Newsnight


Russia’s foreign ministry has issued a not so veiled threat to the government of Moldova – accusing them of fostering an “off-the-scale degree of Russophobia” – encouraged by their Western allies.

Moldova has been in a “frozen conflict” for the last 30 years with a breakaway region called Transnistria, which is backed by the Russians who have 1,500 troops there.

Our international correspondent Joe Inwood travelled to the country to see if this cold war could turn hot once more.
