# Ukraine War: Is Moldova Putin's next target? | Full Episode | SBS Dateline

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by SBS Dateline.

Dateline travels to Moldova – one of Europe’s smallest countries which has seen an influx of refugees fleeing Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

In the country's East, there are Russian soldiers stationed in a break-away region called Transnistria. The self-declared enclave demanded its independence from Moldova in a referendum in 2006 and remains in a stand-off over its sovereignty. Transnistria is politically and economically supported by Russia.

With conflict on their doorstep and no sign of the war ending, Moldovans fear they could be next in Putin’s firing line.

This film was originally broadcasted in 2022.
