Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, believes recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk independent would be a clear violation of the Minsk agreements.
“The EU strongly condemns the Russian State Duma’s decision to submit a call to President Putin to recognize the non-government controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine as independent entities. This recognition would be a clear violation of the Minsk agreements,” Borrell
tweeted.
