Constantine Grishenko, Ukrainian Foreign Minister once more said that Kiev is not about to recognize independence of S.O. and Abkhazia. He said in his interview with newspaper "2000".
This is a very difficult question for Russia. Moscow itself never admitted that upholding by wide spectrum of countries is a question of principal importance. For us it is clear, if we will not recognize Kosovo, similarly we cannot recognize as well independence of Abkhazia and S.O.," - Grishenko said. He believes that such units are independent in fact. "Despite of our official recognition, they are living and time will show how durable its achievements will be. Its relations with international community will be based upon its efforts. I am not for the active interference in such question, "- Ukrainian Foreign Minister said.
