“We consider that it is an attack against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state, that is certain,” the president said at a press conference with his Estonian counterpart, Alar Karis. “After this conference, I will analyze the matter,” he said.
In this regard, Zelensky confirmed that he received a request in this regard from the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and announced that he will also study “effective steps” to respond to the measures announced by Russia.
Putin recognized the independence of both Ukrainian regions on Monday and hours later ordered the entry of the Russian Armed Forces into them within the framework of a “peacekeeping mission”, decisions harshly criticized by the majority of the international community.
The Ukrainian government estimated on Monday at 14,000 dead in the eight years of conflict in the east of the countrybefore adding that at least 30,000 people were injured, while 1.5 million people were forced to flee their homes in crimea and donbas to escape Russian “occupation” of the territory of Ukraine.
Ukrainian authorities on Tuesday demanded a severe response from Western countries against Russia.waiting to see how big the dispatch of troops announced by Moscow will be.
For now there is no timetable or details on the extent of this shipment of troops ordered by Putin, but Russia already has more than 150,000 soldiers on the border with Ukraine, a sufficient device to carry out this type of operation.
The Russian decisions aggravate the crisis that arose weeks ago with Western countries, when the sending of troops to the border with Ukraine raised fears of an imminent invasion and activated world diplomacy.
In addition, the Ukrainian Defense Minister accused Russia of want to “resurrect the USSR” and warned citizens that the country has difficult times ahead.
“We have difficult tests ahead of us. There will be losses. We have to bear the pain, overcome fear and hopelessness,” Oleksiy Reznikov said. “But we are going to win without any doubt. We are on our land,” he added.
