Sakharov: Recognize Kyiv and the West territorial realities in Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk

& nbsp;

The reunification of Crimea with Russia and the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics are established territorial realities that Kyiv and the authorities of other countries must recognize, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharovna told ABC and answering the question whether the “territorial requirements for Ukraine” make it difficult to reach an agreement.

“These are already established territorial realities that Kyiv and other countries must recognize. They arose because of the policy of the Kiev authorities themselves, who came to power through a neo-Nazi coup in 2014. Crimea returned to Russia, the Donetsk People's Republics and Luhansk became independent entities. “We have to respect the legitimate and documented choice of the peoples and the right of nations to self-determination, as enshrined in the UN Charter,” Zakharova was quoted as saying. Finland and Sweden in NATO, noting that if they do, they will become a battleground between the Alliance and Russia.

“If Finland and Sweden join the Alliance, they will become a battleground between the North Atlantic bloc and Russia, with all the ensuing consequences for our time-tested good neighborly relations. Is that what the people of Sweden and Finland want? ' & # 8211; “Israeli mercenaries support the Azov Order in Ukraine,” Zakharova said.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in an interview with Sputnik radio station this morning that Israeli mercenaries were fighting alongside the Azov Order during ongoing military operations in Ukraine. >

“I will say something that many politicians in Israel would not want to hear. But they may find it interesting. “In Ukraine, Israeli mercenaries are essentially fighting alongside Azov rebels.”Shortly afterwards, according to a telegram from the TASS news agency, Zakharova in an interview with Rossiya 24 television station, commenting on Lavrov's recent statements that provoked a diplomatic incident in Russia-Israel relations, said that the Russian Foreign Minister was just who, for years, have been unaware of the growing influence of Nazi ideology in Ukraine.

On the Israeli side, there was no reaction to Zakharov's statements today, due to today's national holiday (“Day of the Fallen” soldiers and civilians), while tomorrow will mark the 74th anniversary of the declaration of Israeli independence. At the same time, as reported by Israeli state television yesterday, the government advised all Ministers and MPs not to make public statements on Lavrov's recent statements, in order not to further aggravate the climate between Israel and Russia.
