Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Georgia had committed a crime against its own people and delivered a strike on its own territorial integrity.
Speaking at a meeting on Saturday, Putin said: “Georgian authorities’ actions in South Ossetia are, of course, a crime and, primarily, a crime against its own people.”
“By delivering a strike on Georgia’s territorial integrity and thus by causing damage to its statehood it’s difficult to imagine how it’s possible to convince So | Ads |  | uth Ossetia to be part of Georgia after the events, which happened and continue to happen,” the Russian prime minister stressed.
In his words, “the aggression led to numerous victims, including among the peaceful population, and provoked a real humanitarian catastrophe.”
“And this is, of course, a crime against its own people,” Putin pointed out.
