By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW – President Dmitry Medvedev says Russia has decided to recognize the independence of the breakaway Georgian territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
In a televised address, Medvedev said he had signed a decree on the decision. Few other countries are likely to follow Moscow’s move, but it is sure to further escalate tensions between Russia and the West.
Tuesday’s declaration comes as Russian forces remain in Georgia.
