This is stated in a statement posted on the website of the State Department. According to State Department spokesman Heather Nauert, the United States requires Russia to withdraw troops from the territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
She also stressed that Washington confirms full recognition of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia within the borders recognized internationally.
By the way, NATO was also very unhappy with the visit of the Russian president to Abkhazia.
"This meeting is detrimental to international efforts to find a peaceful and coordinated settlement," said Dylan White, the official representative of the alliance.
Recall, as reported by "URA-Inform," earlier the head of state of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, said that the staff of US diplomatic missions will be reduced by 755 people.
