State of gang girl cut down at Kent port, do we hear? (7)

'state' is the definition.
(I know that Moldova is a European country)

'gang girl cut down at kent port do we hear?' is the wordplay.
'gang girl' becomes 'moll' (moll can mean a gangster's girlfriend).
'cut down' means to remove the last letter.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'kent port' becomes 'Dover' (Dover is a port in Kent).
'do we hear?' shows a homophone (sound like).
'dover' is a homophone of 'dova'.
'moll' with its final letter taken away is 'mol'.
'mol'+'dova'='MOLDOVA'

'of' acts as a link.
