JUST IN:
The first Zelensky's speech after Putin recognised the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk.
Translation:
"There are no reasons for your sleepless night. We are on our land, we are not afraid of anyone or anything and we will not give anything to anyone. It’s not Feb 2014, but Feb 2022. We are sure of that Recognition of the independence of the occupied areas of Donbass may mean a unilateral withdrawal from the Minsk agreements.Ukraine's internationally recognized borders will remain the same despite Russia's actions. We intend to solve everything diplomatically.
Complaints have already been sent to the OSCE, and an emergency meeting of the "Normandy Four" has been initiated. Important right now to see who our true friends are. We don't have time for history lessons. Ukraine will only follow the diplomatic path and avoid further escalation. We want peace. Our borders are secure. Recent actions of Russia are a violation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, for which Moscow will have to answer."
