Russian peacekeepers cherish peace and tranquility on the banks of the gray Dnister river for 25 years now. This is their main task. They are fulfilling it with honor, said the participant of the fighting in 1992, the deputy of the Supreme Council Vadim Kravchuk
"The preservation of peace on both banks of the Dniester is the main task of Russian peacekeepers! It is the world on the right and left banks of the Dniester that Russia's peacekeepers are protecting, and not a threat to the national sovereignty of Moldova, as the majority of parliamentarians of the Republic of Moldova believe, adopting by a majority vote a declaration demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops from the territory of Pridnestrovie. The current Moldovan parliamentarians forgot that in 1992 the losses were not only from the Pridnestrovian side, but also from Moldova. They forgot the tears and groans of mothers and wives, the plea of the inhabitants, asking to stop the unnecessary massacre. I am sure many Moldovans still cannot understand the reasons and do not find an answer to the question why they were sent with weapons in their hands to lead a "constitutional" order to the left bank of the Dniester.
I remember how the Russian peacekeepers came and returned the peace! People began to build roads, schools, kindergartens. For 25 years there is peace on the Dniester. A new generation has grown up, which does not know about the war that is far away for them. The peace is the most important and important thing for the state, not national sovereignty, integrity and other pseudo-ideals. Someone really does not want peace on the banks of the Dniester. Someone pushes and shakes the situation, using the current unstable political situation in Moldova. Someone really needs a war on the Dniester. And this is obvious. Moldovan parliamentarians who adopted this declaration absolutely do not think about their citizens, most of whom, according to polls, choose the eastern, Slavic vector of development, and not the European one. They think that their children will not go to war and will not perish, they are mistaken. Those who conceive this slaughter will fight until the last Moldavian soldier. I very much hope that the autumn rains will cool the heads of Moldovan politicians who consider Russian peacekeepers on the banks of the Dniester as occupation forces. They, just like Pridnestrovians, will protect the most effective peacekeeping mission in the world and in every way help it. It is to guard against forces that want to unleash another bloody war and return one more hot spot on the world map.
A low bow to the Russian peacekeepers for peace on the Dniester!"
