US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed deep concern over the security of Moldova, a small country with Russian-backed territory bordering Ukraine. Moldovan President Maia Sandu accused Russia of planning to destabilize the former Soviet republic, echoing a claim made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. CNN's Bianna Golodryga speaks with Moldovan journalist and author Paula Erizanu. #CNN #News
Worry spreads about country Putin may target next
Privet, mine is the republic of Georgia and I’m really worried Putin will come after my birthplace next. My husband is Ukrainian his family was uprooted and had to scatter throughout Poland and Georgia. Putin must be stopped before he plunges Europe into real hell again.
@The Rabbit Channel DO THE RUSSIAN CRIMINALS WANT THAT ? DO THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE WANT THAT? DO THE PEOPLE of the ” FEDERATION OF SCLAVES” WANT THAT? Do other BLACK MAILING DICTATORS WANT ? WHAT THE CRIMINALS ARE HOPPING? THE WORLD TO ACCEPT THE BLACKMAIL.
@Robertodette is megalomaniac .
@SoulRebel440 criminals hay not LOGIC…..at least not normal human logic.
@Enafa successful from CRIMINALS point of view. A eyes opening for WHO they ARE for the rest of the WORLD.
@ solarspecies022 he had lost in the moment when INVADED CRIMEA: UKRAINIANS are PROUD PATRIOTS.
Condolences to all the Ukrainians mothers, fathers, families and foreigners fighters families who lost their loved ones in Ukraine.
Great job and commentary brother Slava Ukraine 🌻🇺🇦 good morning 🌞☕ and happy you are doing well today ☺️👍
@GQ_ONE f**ken russian propaganda bullshit right here…gtfoh
@Suzanne Forasiepi
You welcome Ms Suzanne
@GQ_ONE from WHAT HOLE are you?
@GQ_ONE you really need to get a doctor appointment.
Having Russia as a neighboring country is like having a neighbor who is constantly trying to break into your house to loot and mur der everyone inside.
@Tesla Drew Everything is racist. 🤷♂️
@Bonnie Afghanistan,Kosovo,Panama,Hawaii,Several native confederations…
Add—foaming and frothing at the mouth.
@John Muthan then leave
@Bonnie Well, half of Mexico was annexed by US, including Texas.
I have no doubt this report is true. But this has been talked about even before the invasion.
Here is the recommended clip that say it :
https://youtu.be/g9ER4g-Ov7Y
They say the same about the USA. After Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Serbia, Libya, Afghanistan, who will be the next nation?
I have doubt that anything from CNN can be true
@Trump ForeverWhen did the US steal and annex land?
@Trump Forever ok Ivan
I am from that “small poor nation”.
Just wanted to let you know we will not tolerate anyone who breaks our borders!
Not having a lot of money dose not mean you are poor! In situations like this especially. Brothers from Ukraine proved it.
We will fight with forks if necessary! In no way will we let Russia occupy our Country!
Putin is backing desperate people into a corner. This makes people warriors and survivors. I am from the USA and pray for all of you.
@James Street it 20 years for US to fail in Afghanistan and leave behind tons of weapons…so stop it with the whatabouism BOT
@Paranormal Traveler- Pennsylvania
BS they spend more than 1 Trillion dollars and could not win against a rug tag army of Taliban that only has light
Weapons. America is a paper tiger it is only good at fighting from far away but in a real war they are pu—ies.
Until now Europe and America had no interest in Maldivian and now they want to blackmail them.
@MammaDuck What’s not actually accurate? Your message here says nothing of the FACT that for over a decade the Taliban to which Raa was referring to had expelled the Western forces from Afghanistan. I’m quite familiar with the final days for which control of Afghanistan changed hands, which wasn’t a defeat for the west. The point I was making.
Absolutely, that was/is the plan run through Ukraine to Moldova then to Romania and up to Poland.
@Jonathan Stein and this is the beauty of it
Pootie, r there any bounds that u will not stoop ? Gettin eviler by the day- evil on top of evil. What!! Go there and kill more children, parents, fathers- destroy another country – displace more people? why : for A Russian empire of an era gone forever ? Something has to stop him. Is everyone gonna just watch, wait and see?
@Peter Marshall I’m sure Russia will be coming after you next Peter.
@Thunder Lips Russia was so drunk on their own bravado they couldn’t even make it to Kiev w/o loosing 1/2 their army.
@Peter Marshall and you were there to witness that?
Well, actually, back in the first week of the war, Lukashenko showed their plans, according to which after the capture of Odessa, Moldova should be “liberated” next. Apparently they planned a lot of things in those days, until the harsh reality put everything in its place, and instead of a victorious march across Europe, the Russian army began to lose thousands of soldiers for villages that are not even visible on the map. In any case, Moldova can feel safe. Before Russia gets to them, the third millennium will come.
@ElCamaronPesado Russia doesn’t seem to learn from its mistakes, now fighting head-on with human wave assaults…..just like WWI.
@Matej Blaha Good point. Eventually, we can hope,….. many of the Russians who are acting as a fifth column will forced to leave back to Russia. A sizeable minority in all the countries of the old Soviet Union including the Baltics are their to destabilize their new home country.
@Lockwood Peckinpaugh Lubashenko’s weak army is there to keep the dictator in power. If this dictator commits his military to attack Ukraine, it will be quickly defeated…..then the aging dictator would be heading for retirement in Sochi.
They have been in transnitria which is a breakaway region sandwiched between Moldova and Ukraine for years
Do you have a Family?
His next target?? He can’t even win a war on his own doorstep
Excuse me,the american media has censored everything coming out of that part of the world.Actually we don’t know what’s really happening there,everything we hear is propaganda.
that’s why putin wants to try something smaller….
@David Drake Thank you. You’re not the author of the same name, I’m guessing.
@Emsley Wyatt Why do you think Germany did the same thing in WW2?
@Oliver 101 An idea if he does will lead to almost every country declaring war on Russia and lose a ton of support from other countries
There are many small countries that ring Russia and it wouldn’t take much to inspire a few hundred russian speakers to welcome some ‘little green men’ and storm the democratic places of power, in fact in Moldova’s case they already have a a very sizable and better armed Russian force already camped in lands that legally belong to Moldova. If I was Moldova I would ask for a UN peace keeping force immediately to be settled there, it would at least bring some income into this poor nation if nothing else.
Yeah, that’s Puturd’s plan. He’ll claim he’s sending in his savages to “rescue russians” by taking over the country. Bet on it.
He wants to burn it all down if he can’t have it. Internally he’s raging. That’s the problem. If he can’t have his way. The idea of Empire. He will ruin it for the humans who have to live in every former Warsaw Pact nation after he’s dead. And that doesn’t just include Europe or Asia, but the globe. Namaste and Slava Ukraine 🌍🇺🇳🇪🇺🇺🇦
You are correct, Putrid, the sh** a** murderous little dictator is furious! “How dare they defy me!” ME!!!
I am reliably informed that the wind blows in his direction most of the time.
The best way to make people forget about a war we are definitely not losing is to start another war we definitely won’t lose. Also, stay away from a window if you don’t like this.

@Gianna Lordlet’s be honest, russian propaganda is rife in your comment…nazi sympathizer
No money in winning a war. They simply need to drag it out as long as they can. If they wanted to win it, that would have already been done.
LOL. Perfect example of Russian logic.
Fight for your autonomy. Do not let bullies conquer you just because they have power.
They think they have
Exactly. If Putin had just kept to Russia, the world would still think them as a super power. Now the world sees just how garbage their military is.
The US will stab you in the back.
I can certainly understand the concern from ANY country that has a common borders with Russia. That being said, there’s evidence that the Russian military has begun pressing highly trained naval personnel into the infantry as canon-fodder; that is NOT a sign of a healthy military at all.
Putin’s hands are more than full in Ukraine; given how much of the Russian conventional military capacity has been committed to that theater – or more precisely; destroyed or captured there – he’s in absolutely no position to pick fights with anybody else at this stage of the game. By the time the conflict in Ukraine is resolved it’s pretty unlikely Russia will even have the conventional military capacity to defend it’s own territory, let alone threaten anybody else’s.
Which introduces China into the geopolitical equation.
Considering that Russia has a largely geriatric population of about 130 million – and that is shrinking every day while the demographic breeding stock has either fled the country or been fed into the meat grinder in Ukraine – it’s inevitable that those eight time-zones worth of territory and resources that make up eastern Russia are going to become more and more tempting to Russia’s extremely populous neighbor, China. When the war in Ukraine started last year, Russia’s largest security concern was actually on their EASTERN borders; not their western ones. NATO was never really a credible invasion threat; China definitely is – just as a result of population density alone. China has more than ten times Russia’s population crammed into less than half the space.
The die is already cast: eventually and inevitably the territories east of the Urals are either going to form breakaway republics of their own or, more likely, be bought out by the Chinese. A war over the territory probably won’t be necessary; Moscow won’t have nearly the money or manpower to manage those territories anyway, let alone fight a war over them. China will be able to increase it’s physical size and resource wealth massively just by writing a relatively small check – without firing a shot.
Caution and vigilance are essential !
The warning is timely and must be heeded.
Must remain vigilant and all free countries must support Ukraine 🇺🇦💪💙💛🌻✨
🇺🇲❤️🇺🇦
Agreed. After we kick Russia out the US can then move in and steel all of Ukaine’s mineral resources.
War would have ended after a month if our government didn’t step in, and interfere with the peace agreement Ukraine and Russia both agreed upon. NATO, and the US, are fueling this unnecessary war.
@Mark The US and its imperialism has to keep the military industrial complex flushed with endless money
@morgan james It’s infuriating. I’m all for staying ahead in regards to military advancements, but it’s disgusting how many of our politicians are controlled by both them, and Big Pharma
@Mark 💯
I am glad you said you are from Moldova, it drives home how closely connected we are to what’s going on. As for the russian sympathizers, they can be taken to the Black Sea and put in row boats, then told “russia is that-a-way”, and they can start rowing themselves to they’re beloved russian masters. 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸
Americans who go traipsing abroad to overthrow govts and play God with the lives of faraway locals should get in that rowboat and go drown themselves.
@manofsan we’re not overthrowing any governments now, we’re helping to save a country full of good people who just want russians to get the hell off thier land. I suppose you have a problem with that?
@David Peterson – no, Victoria Nuland showed up in 2014 to overthrow the elected govt and install ethno-fascists in its place. They promptly launched an ethnic-cleansing campaign against ethnic Russians who had always lived there (Ukraine is certainly not an homogenous place, but is very heterogenous). That’s why this war has happened, and ignorants like you choose to shut your eyes and ears and stay in denial while shouting “God Bless America”, because you live very far away from there and don’t care to understand the local ground realities. Get over yourself.
@manofsan my my, ethno-fascists…you really have been huffing the old spray paint, haven’t you? I would warn you that “huffing” can rot you’re brain. But in you’re case, I really doubt it will make much of a difference. Is that what’s wrong with russians?, are they all “huffing” paint? 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸😄😄😄
Not really, Moldova is land locked. They would need permission from either Ukraine or Romania first.
Much love to the Moldovan people ❤ 💙 be strong!
Send them to the gym muscle building

Putin’s failure in Ukraine has been pretty extreme. He’s decimated his standing army to the point of a ridiculously enforced draft. His fleet of tanks is cut in half. He’s expending his missile arsenal faster than he can replenish, and he’s accomplished next to nothing. If he’s even considering another country before a LONG term rebuilding and retraining effort, he’s even more insane than I thought, and that’s saying a LOT. Honestly, if he keeps wasting his force in Ukraine, he’s going to leave Russia defenseless other than nukes, which is the most terrifying part of this failed invasion.
Even more reason to let governments know we want Russia stopped In Ukraine at all costs. Sanctions should be tightened, Russia totally cut off with shipping blockades and send Ukraine every dang thing they need.
May God bless and protect Moldova. Thank you for this interview.
They won’t have to worry the EU doesn’t want Moldova and neither does Putin to be brutally honest.
