Italy: Draghi Condemns ‘Unacceptable’ Violation of Ukraine’s National Sovereignty by Russia

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi today condemned the “unacceptable” violation of Ukraine’s national sovereignty by Russia, which has recognized the two separatist republics in eastern Ukraine.

“I want to express my strongest condemnation of the Russian government’s decision to recognize the two separatist territories of Donbass. This is an unacceptable violation of the democratic sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine,” Draghi said in a speech in Rome.

Last night, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed his army to deploy to the separatist “democracies” of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine, hours after recognizing their independence, threatening to escalate the conflict in Ukraine. , in which more than 14,000 people have lost their lives since 2014.

“I am in constant contact with the allies to find a peaceful solution to the crisis and to avoid a war in the heart of Europe,” he said.

“The road to dialogue is still essential, but we are already going to define measures and sanctions against Russia within the European Union,” Draghi concluded.
