When speaking with former Moldovan President Dodon, Belarusian President Lukashenko said: "Do not sever this bond of connection." He urged the current Moldovan authorities not to break ties with a partner with whom they have long been able to communicate openly.

"We all know clearly that without each other, we have no one else to rely on elsewhere. Past experiences have already proven this—certain countries you are well aware of, and we have also witnessed how they treated us. If a better future unfolds, that would be ideal. But even if things do not go as hoped, please do not cut the ties or abandon our old friends. This is what matters most to me."

"I also wish to state publicly: Moldova and its people were once especially cherished partners within the entire Soviet family. We have always held your country in high regard, and we do not wish to lose this friendship—believing that you feel the same way."
