Ukraine does not support the decision of Russia to recognize South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states
and insists on stability of international principle of keeping territorial
integrity of every state. The President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko said in an
interview to Reuters.
“We regret the decision. It is
unacceptable for Ukraine, therefore we cannot back this
position,” President said.
The head of the state
underlined that Ukraine proceeds from the fact that
observance of the international law on territorial integrity of any country is
the base of the modern security policy. Hence, according to Yushchenko,
violation of this principle “causes aggravation not only in Caucasian region.”
“Such aggravation may lead
to complications in different parts of the world. The point is that mutual
trust can be questioned and lost because of poorly thought-out steps, when
diplomacy and peaceful regulation are replaced with policy of force,” the
President said.
