Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Vasily Nebenzya accused Ukrainian forces of acts of aggression as he outlined Russia’s decision to recognise the breakaway territories in Ukraine’s eastern regions, at an emergency Security Council meeting in New York City on Monday.

“Right now it is important to focus on how to avoid war and force Ukraine to stop shelling and law enforcement operations against Donetsk and Lugansk, he said.

“It has become obvious that Donbass is on the verge of a new Ukrainian military adventure, as already happened in 2014 and 2015. We cannot allow this to happen, which is why the Russian president listened to the opinion of parliamentarians and members of the Russian Security Council,” he added.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees on the recognition of the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in the eastern Ukrainian territory of Donbass on Monday. He also ordered the Russian military to ‘secure the peace’ in the newly recognised territories.

Putin said the decision to recognise the breakaway republics was a direct result of the failure of the 2014 Minsk agreements to put an end to fighting in the Donbass.

Ukraine and the self-proclaimed republics continue to accuse each other of heavy shelling and violations of the Minsk agreements, as recorded by the OSCE monitoring mission.

The leaders of the DPR and LPR, Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik, had called for Moscow’s support for their independence.
