South Ossetia has welcomed expressing full solidarity with the decision of Russian President Vladimir Putin to recognize the state sovereignty and independence of the DPR and the LPR, the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry said in the statement in connection with the recognition by the Russian Federation of the independence of the Donetsk and the Luhansk People's Republics.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has noted that the South Ossetian people, like no one else, understand what is happening in these Republics, since they have felt the consequences of the Georgian nationalism, they have passed all the horror of war and deprivation.
"The recent sharp aggravation of the situation in the Donbass, provoked by official Kiev, which completely ignores all points of the Minsk mechanism, left no choice for the Russian Federation," the statement said on Tuesday. It's no secret that the undisguised intervention of Western countries, led by the United States, who appointed Ukraine as a testing ground for their geopolitical games and created a zone of increased military danger here, played an important role in unwinding the spiral of tension. We hope that this significant event will serve to strengthen the moral principle and basic values in international law, which for several decades have been eroded by double standards applied to certain countries."
The Foreign Ministry expressed confidence that the recognition of the independence of Donbass by the Russian Federation would help stabilize the situation and strengthen security in the region, as well as give an accelerated impetus to the development and improvement of the welfare of the population of these republics, and most importantly, put an end to many years of bloodshed.
