The United States called Russia's recognition of the DPR and LPR a threat to the international order

US Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN) Linda Thomas-Greenfield said that the States support holding an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation around Ukraine. It is reported by TASS.

“We support Kiev's call to urgently organize a meeting of the UN Security Council. The Security Council must demand from the Russian Federation respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine,” Thomas-Greenfield stressed.

She added that Russia's recognition of the independence of the DPR and LPR "threatens the international order that has been established since the Second World War."

Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that the country had applied to the UN Security Council with a request to hold consultations on security within the framework of the Budapest Memorandum.

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the Russians, in which he announced the need to recognize the independence of the self-proclaimed republics of Donbass.

In addition, Putin signed with the heads of the Donetsk People's Republic Denis Pushilin and the Luhansk People's Republic Leonid Pasechnik agreements "on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance."
