According to him, Moldova will be able to “survive” only if it maintains good relations with Russia.

Dodon expressed confidence that Moldova risks losing Transnistria and the Gagauz autonomy if it joins the EU.

“We will have complete chaos and destabilization of the entire country, we will lose part of our territories,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, reminded Moldova of the risks against the background of Chisinau's blind adherence to the recommendations of Western countries.

On June 23, the EU summit agreed on the status of accession candidates for Ukraine and Moldova.
