I strongly condemn Russia's new violation of the international law, of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, by recognizing the so-called independence of the Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Lugansk, and the aggression against Ukraine by the other Russian troops that entered the territory of this state.
