President of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov met with the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin in Donetsk, the press service of the head of state reported.
The meeting was also attended by the heads of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of South Ossetia and the DPR Azamat Chochiev and Alexei Kostrubitsky.
Denis Pushilin noted the importance of the assistance of the South Ossetian people for the residents of Donbass.
“Even before the recognition of the Donetsk People's Republic by the Russian Federation, there was recognition of the fraternal Republic of South Ossetia. And this allowed us to develop, including the economy. But we are connected by something more than economic models, we are connected by really fraternal relations, we are connected with Anatoly Ilyich by real sincere friendship.
During this period, we really had the opportunity to be convinced of warm sincere intentions in difficult periods, difficult situations in which we found ourselves through the fault of the Ukrainian regime, through the fault of the circumstances. But nevertheless, we found the ways to resolve these problematic moments, we found the ways to lean on a brotherly shoulder, to move on,” the head of the DPR said.
He also called the invaluable help of volunteers from South Ossetia, who are defending Donbass.
“Since 2014, our friends and our brothers are with us shoulder to shoulder. We are well aware of the prerequisites not only for aggression of Ukraine. We are well aware of what preceded the situation in 2008 and earlier.
We certainly understand that all this was aimed against Russia. And our attitude towards Russia is unequivocal, categorical - this is what our peoples have been striving for: to be as close as possible to Russia, our common Motherland.
Anatoly Ilyich has very correct intentions in this regard, based on the desires and aspirations of the Ossetian people,” said Denis Pushilin.
He expressed confidence that historical justice would be restored in the Donetsk People's Republic.
In turn, Anatoly Bibilov said that he always visited "the beloved fraternal Donetsk People's Republic" with great pleasure.
“The situation that has developed in connection with the actions carried out by the Ukrainian leadership that is supporting fascism is a terrible story not only for Donbass, it is a terrible story for Ukraine itself. After all, it is clear that these people, who brought up their future generations in hatred for everything Russian, are well aware that this story has a bad ending. But whatever it was, I am absolutely sure that the Donetsk People's Republic will be liberated. This is exactly what the special military operation is aimed at, and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin's decision is absolutely correct," said the President of the RSO.
He has added that South Ossetia supports the President of the Russian Federation in his desire to put an end to the spread of fascism and Nazism.
“I have always said that if the people have already determined their future, then no shells, no artillery can interfere with this aspiration. I am absolutely sure that the people of Donbass will win. I am absolutely sure that Russia will win. And I am absolutely sure that the Donetsk People's Republic, despite all the hardships existing today, will be prospering and developing.
For all of us, as well as for all the peoples living in the Russian Federation, Russia is the historical Motherland. And this historical homeland connects South Ossetia, the Donetsk People's Republic, and the Lugansk People's Republic, and connects the entire Russian world. And in this regard, our aspirations are absolutely united, our attitude towards Russia is unshakable,” he has stressed.
