Have you ever heard about Transnistria?

In the east of Moldova there is a strip of land about 200 kilometres long known as the Republic of Transnistria. Transnistria has been a source of conflict between Moldova and Russia, as well as between Europe and Russia, for decades. If you look at the area, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the former Soviet Union. Hammer-and-sickle flags still fly, and statues of Lenin adorn the squares.

But why does this abysmal and unrecognised state exist in the middle of Eastern Europe? What role does the Kremlin play and how has the situation changed since the war in Ukraine? We take a look at all these exciting questions in today's video! Have fun!
