In order to prevent the recurrence of those terrible events in the recent history of South Ossetia, we must unite and confront negative challenges together, Head of State Anatoly Bibilov said at the mourning meeting dedicated to the 31st anniversary of the Ered tragedy.

Sanctions against Russia will affect, among other things, South Ossetia, since both countries represent a single political and geographical space. The head of the South Ossetian state Anatoly Bibilov stated this live on Instagram.
“All products that we do not produce here in the Republic come to us only through the Russian Federation, and, without a doubt, sanctions against Russia will affect us. They are directed against the Russian Federation not because there really is a need for it, but in order to weaken it,” the President said.
