Россия "не может противиться желанию жителей" Южной Осетии касательно референдума, Путин

Россия "не может противиться желанию жителей" Южной Осетии касательно проведения референдума о присоединении, но никаких конкретных планов с российской стороны пока нет, сказал в четверг президент Владимир Путин.

"С руководителем Южной Осетии мы подробно тему (о присоединении к РФ) не обсуждали", сообщил он журналистам в Москве.

Ранее на этой неделе президент Южной Осетии Леонид Тибилов заявил агентству ТАСС, что республика планирует провести референдум "до августа".

Россия признала независимость Южной Осетии, наряду с независимостью Абхазии, после войны с Грузией в августе 2008 года.

Тибилов неоднократно заявлял о своем желании полной интеграции Южной Осетии с Россией. На референдуме главным вопросом станет - хотели бы осетины внести изменения в 10 статью Конституции, которая позволила бы ей обратиться к российскому руководству с просьбой присоединения.

"Я абсолютно уверен, что люди скажут "да", сказал Тибилов в воскресенье.

"Нас ничего не сдерживает, кроме интересов самого югоосетинского народа", сказал Путин. "Но мы пока не знаем, что будет положено в основу этого референдума, как будут сформулированы вопросы в окончательном виде, в зависимости от этого будем дальше думать".

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States. Relations between China and Russia have deepened in recent years, particularly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
