**Analysis**
The text appears to be a diplomatic statement from the Soviet Union, condemning the actions of the United States and other Western states in relation to South Africa, and expressing support for African countries and the United Nations' resolutions and decisions regarding sanctions against South Africa. The text also mentions the Soviet Union's own actions, such as complying with UN resolutions and supporting the liberation of Namibia. Given the political and diplomatic nature of the text, it is likely that it falls under the categories of International relations, Politics, or Diplomacy.
