People of South Ossetia associate their future and stability with the current president, the leader of the nation, Putin,” he said. “We must create all the conditions so that all citizens living in the Republic have the opportunity to make their choice.”
The President has emphasized that the people of South Ossetia perceive the words “Russia” and “Putin” as synonyms.
“And this is right in today’s difficult times. We must support the person with whom we connect our present and future. “We cannot help but wish Vladimir Putin a confident victory in the upcoming elections,” the President said. - This is a fateful moment, without any exaggeration, when such geopolitical issues are being resolved. We know that there is a threat from the collective West, which wants to destabilize the situation both within Russia and in general.”

“The consolidated West is trying from all sides to undermine Russia on all fronts,” Kulakhmetov has emphasized. - The Russian leadership is taking all measures to prevent internal political destabilization, and is doing it very successfully. In connection with this political event, I believe that Russian citizens living on the territory of the Republic should actively take part in the upcoming elections.”
