France’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Nicolas de Riviere, threatened Russia with dire consequences if it did not stop recognizing the Donetsk and Lugansk republics, and declared his country’s solidarity with Ukraine.
“We call on Russia to reverse its decision and to declare our solidarity with Ukraine, and we will continue our efforts to support the Kiev government … This will have consequences in Europe, we can impose sanctions. We will continue to look for a diplomatic solution,” because we need a diplomatic solution. President (Emmanuel) Macron will seek it out in the coming hours and days.”
The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting on Tuesday morning to discuss the situation in Ukraine, against the background of Russia’s recognition of the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics from Ukraine.
On Monday evening, Russian President signed two decrees requiring Russia to recognize the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics from Ukraine, amid the ongoing military-political crisis in the Donbass region since 2014.
The President of Russia has instructed his country’s armed forces to ensure peace in the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, where Moscow recognizes its independence and has signed two mutual cooperation agreements.
