NTV Podcast on Moldovan conflict region Transnistria with Hannes Meissner

A war in Molodova is becoming more likely. Following his re-election, Putin is signalling his willingness to further escalate the geopolitical struggle aimed at re-establishing Russian hegemony in the entire post-Soviet space. For the time being, however, Moscow will continue to rely on hybrid warfare in an attempt to further destabilise the situation in Moldova in order to undermine Moldova's EU rapprochement process. There is no sign of any willingness to compromise. The sole aim is a pro-Russian change of government. Transnistria is a decisive lever here. While the local political and business elite in the separatist region has no interest in this, the decision lies solely with Moscow.
