Episode 2: Transnistria: Powder Keg in Eastern Europe
September 22, 2025 • 27 min
Transnistria is a breakaway region of Moldova on the border with Ukraine - effectively a state within a state, with close links to Russia. The small territory lived off free gas from Moscow years, but mainly exports to the EU. Transnistria has been in an energy crisis since 2025 - and has become a pawn in global geopolitics.
