Recently this fucker said an independent Kosovo would be immoral and illegal.
Moscow has repeatedly hinted it could respond to an independent Kosovo by recognising South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow would "adjust its line" on the regions, but did not say how. Kosovo may declare independence this weekend, and the US and most EU states are expected to recognise it quickly. Most people in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which have enjoyed de facto independence since the early 1990s, already have Russian citizenship. Georgia accuses Russia of supporting both regions, in order to undermine its own attempts to build a strong and independent nation state.
Double standards ftw.
