Moscow - President Dmitry Medvedev said on Sunday that Russia will give military support to South Ossetia and Abkhazia, two Georgian breakaway regions which the Kremlin has recognised as independent states.

"We of course will help them," Medvedev said in an interview with Russia's three main television channels.

He said agreements were being prepared with South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

"In these international agreements all our obligations for providing support will be set out: economic, social, humanitarian, military," he said.
