The recognition of two separatist territories in Ukraine is an open violation of international law, the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the Minsk accords”, Borrell has said.
“The EU and its partners will react with unity, determination and solidarity with Ukraine”, he added.
Russia has recognised the independence of Luhansk and Donetsk, two regions east of Ukraine, a part of which is controlled by the Russian state-backed pro-Russian force. Putin has decided to recognise the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk, recognising them as independent states. This he did on a live TV presentation.
