How Ukraine, the EU and the US reacted to the recognition of the LPR and DPR by Russia

On the evening of February 21, President Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics. These decrees state that the Russian military will have to ensure the maintenance of peace on the territory of the DPR and LPR "until the conclusion of agreements on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance."

Ukraine assesses Russia's actions as a violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state, said President Volodymyr Zelensky. “We are not afraid of anything or anyone. We don't owe anything to anyone. And we will not give anything to anyone, ”he said. Also, according to Zelensky, the recognition of the LPR and the DPR can be regarded as "Russia's unilateral withdrawal from the MINSK agreements." The United States intends to impose new sanctions against Russia due to President Vladimir Putin's recognition of the self-proclaimed republics of Donbass, the White House said. Restrictive measures will be announced on Tuesday, February 22.
