The recognition of the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) as independent countries has been raised and condemned at today’s UN Security Council meeting and at the UN General Assembly.

The UN Security Council meeting was scheduled for regular discussions of Ukrainian issues.

However, the Ukrainian representative raised the Georgian issue and condemned the Syrian act.

Today Crimea is a large military base used by Russia for its interests, in Syria among them. Now we have seen that Syria recognised the Georgian regions as independent republics,” the Ukrainian representative stated.

Georgia's Permanent representative to the UN spoke about the violation Syria had committed.

The representatives of Sweden and the UK also condemned the decision of Syria and emphasised that such solutions acted against international law and order.
