"Some people think South Ossetia is occupied, others think it is liberated," Putin stated commenting on Clinton’s speech in Tbilisi.
‘It is necessary to have dialogue without the third country. We did not start this war and the responsibility lies on the one who launched it. They must be brave and find a way to the people’s hearts they have wounded,” stated the prime-minister of Russia.
