Molovata Nouă is a commune located in Dubăsari District of the Republic of Moldova, on the eastern bank of the River Dniester. It consists of two villages, Molovata Nouă and Roghi ({{Moldovan Cyrillic|Рогь}}).[http://www.statistica.md/public/files/Clasificatoare/CUATM_rom.zip Clasificatorul unităților administrativ-teritoriale al Republicii Moldova (CUATM)] {{in lang|ro}}
During the 1992 War of Transnistria, the commune was located in the immediate vicinity of heavy fighting. Since the war Molovata Nouă has been controlled by the government of the Republic of Moldova, while Roghi is partly controlled by the secessionist government of Transnistria. The only link between Molovata Nouă and territory controlled by the Government of Moldova is by ferry boat across the Dniester River.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64824517|title=Ukraine war: The Moldovan enclave surrounded by pro-Russian forces|work=BBC News|first=Lucy|last=Williamson|date=March 4, 2023|access-date=March 4, 2023}}
