Yevgeny Shevchuk: Practice shows even small states can sometimes offer serious resistance

During a press conference at MIA Rossiya Segodnya the president said neither Pridnestrovie's neighbour is recommended even to consider the use of force

"Concerning some destabilising actions against Pridnestrovie, I, as Pridnestrovie's leader, wouldn't recommend neither of our neighbours even to consider the use of force. This is a non-constructive approach, and, as practice shows, sometimes even small states can offer a serious resistance," said the head of state.

That is why, according to him, this approach should be regarded as unthinkable. "We, the Pridnestrovians, are aimed at constructive cooperation. We believe there are opportunities for dialogue, understanding and peaceful solution to any issues and problems," concluded Yevgeny Shevchuk.
