‘Moldova is worse than Ukraine': My clash with Russian sympathisers fighting the EU
The Telegraph have travelled to Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, during a vital geopolitical crossroads on Europe's eastern flank.
To its east is Ukraine, a country fighting for its very survival. To its west is Romania, a member of Nato and the European Union.
Moldova is a member of neither and for many, that puts it in Putin's sights.
The Telegraph has explored the dangers facing Moldova and the ramifications not only for Ukraine and Europe, but also for the wider West.
If there were such a thing as a second Cold War, Chisinau would be on the front line.

‘China's Google' to launch self-driving cars in UK
A tech giant dubbed 'China's Google' is planning to test self-driving taxis in the UK, as the US prepares to ban Chinese driverless car technology. Baidu, the Chinese internet search giant, confirmed on Monday that it would be seeking to road test its Apollo Go autonomous cars in the UK and Germany starting in 2026 under a deal with Lyft, a rival to Uber. The tech giant is expanding its self-driving car business across Europe, as Chinese carmakers flood Europe with cheap electric vehicles that have challenged domestic car businesses. Baidu already operates ride-hailing operations in China in cities including Beijing and Wuhan. It said it hoped to have thousands of autonomous cars in Europe in the coming years. It has also tested and developed its self-driving cars on US roads under an agreement with California's department of motor vehicles. However, the US has moved to ban Chinese connected car and autonomous driving software from 2027 onwards. The Biden administration introduced the ban in January on national security grounds. It said this was to ensure America's 'automotive supply chains are resilient and secure from foreign adversary cyber threats'. The decision has remained in effect under Donald Trump. The US department of commerce warned in January that the plethora of microchips and internet-connected systems in self-driving cars created 'opportunities for data exfiltration and unauthorised vehicle manipulation due to the direct'. It added that the 'China's role in the US connected vehicle supply chain presents undue and unacceptable risks'. Fears of cyber espionage UK intelligence officials have repeatedly accused China of cyber espionage and hacking campaigns targeted at government officials and MPs. In 2023, Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the former Conservative leader, claimed he had been 'reliably told' that a ministerial car used by then prime minister Rishi Sunak had been bugged with a tracking device hidden in a microchip. Officials previously blocked Huawei, the Chinese telecoms business, from Britain's 5G networks over fears it could pose a security risk. Luke de Pulford, the executive director of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, said: 'It wasn't long ago we were seeing credible reports of ministerial cars hacked by China. 'The Government should act to protect Britain from exposure to Beijing's data harvesting and espionage, not expose them to more of it.' US ride-hailing company Lyft has launched a major expansion into Europe in an attempt to challenge Uber. It acquired Freenow, a ride-hailing business owned by BMW and Mercedes-Benz, in a $200m (£150m) deal earlier this year. The deal with Baidu could bring self-driving cars designed by the Chinese company and connected to Lyft's app to Europe by early next year. Robin Li, the chairman of Baidu, said its launch was part of a 'commitment to making autonomous mobility accessible worldwide'. David Risher, Lyft's chief executive, said Baidu's 'extensive track record operating the world's largest autonomous ride-hailing service means we can bring all the benefits of AVs [autonomous vehicles] – safety, reliability, and privacy – to millions of Europeans'. Uber has said it will test driverless taxis in the UK in a deal with Wayve, a British technology start-up. Tesla, meanwhile, has started trials of its driverless car technology in London after government officials sought to speed up rules that would allow autonomous vehicles on UK roads.
