September rainfalls reduce Moldova's table grapes export potential (EastFruit)

Growers note that grape plantations of the main export variety “Moldova” have begun “cracking” – cracking (with the subsequent prospect of rotting) of berries.

Accordingly, the forecast of low prices for “Moldova” for processing is still relevant. This circumstance worsens the prospects for the export of “Moldova” to the markets of European countries. According to market participants, some Moldovan wineries have resumed large-scale exports of budget wines to the Belarusian market.

Following Manchester United to Moldova and beyond on an away ... (The Athletic)

Manchester United's trip to play Sheriff Tiraspol provided fans with a chance to visit the Russian-speaking mini-state of Transnistria.

[Lisandro Martinez](https://theathletic.com/football/player/lisandro-martinez-lZNyZmtnsD6xHZZP/), who was willing to chat to us by the side of the pitch. Outside, a young fan in a Manchester United shirt with “Ronaldo” on the back broke through a cordon and made a run towards where the United players were boarding their coach. After the final whistle, all the United players bar Ronaldo went towards the travelling fans to thank them for their support. We saw no Sheriff fans, no convoys of them travelling to the sold-out game in Chisinau. [Jadon Sancho](https://theathletic.com/football/player/jadon-sancho-WxHzrPhDPwJUmjki/) [finished a fine team goal and showed some shin pads given to him by a young fan](https://theathletic.com/3599485/2022/09/16/jadon-sancho-manchester-united-england/), [Cristiano Ronaldo](https://theathletic.com/football/player/cristiano-ronaldo-jh1IjFA8SnHLGtwM/) scored his penalty and ran away from the travelling United fans to [do his ‘Siuu’ celebration](https://theathletic.com/3364461/2022/09/15/siu-ronaldo-celebration/) in the opposite corner. There were innocent chants of “Sheriff!” and no organised fan culture on their part. Your passport doesn’t get stamped on the way, but you get a 12-hour visa and a “migration card”. The iconography of the Soviet period prevails. “There have been a number of explosions reported in the Transnistria region in late April. We walked to the main door hoping to see inside the stadium. Their game against [Manchester United](https://theathletic.com/football/team/manchester-united/) was thus shifted to the Moldovan capital of Chisinau, 50 miles away. [UEFA](https://theathletic.com/football/champions-league/) ordered that no European games be permitted to take place in Transnistria as a direct consequence of the Russian invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.
