"In South Ossetia, the situation around the DPR and LPR has long been of great concern. For several years, civilians have been dying in these republics, because of the permanent threat of military aggression, state bodies are not able to fully work on socio-economic development," the statement of the Party posted on its official website, reads.
The Republic of South Ossetia today is the only country that has recognized the independence of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic.
"The recognition by South Ossetia followed on the basis of the need to support the people of Donbass, and based on the illegal actions of the Ukrainian authorities. We consider the recognition of the independence of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic to be fully justified from a moral point of view and from the point of view of regional security," the statement says.
