NYSun -- Russia withdrew its support for weapons sanctions against Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which are seeking independence from Georgia. The prospect of Russia sending arms to its allies in those regions is "most alarming," the American ambassador to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, told reporters.
Moscow also made clear yesterday that it would provide more support to two regions if Georgia becomes a member of NATO. "As soon as Georgia gets some kind of prospect from Washington of NATO membership, the next day the process of real secession of these two territories from Georgia will begin," the Russian ambassador to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, said, Reuters reported.
