Moscow: Russia Will Defend Donetsk, Lugansk | Farsnews Agency

(FNA)- Moscow will act as a guarantor of the security and integrity of the two breakaway Donbass republics in Donetsk and Lugansk, Russia’s top diplomat said, after the Kremlin affirmed their status as sovereign states amid a worsening standoff with Ukraine.

Speaking as part of an appearance on TV channel Russia 24 on Tuesday, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stressed that the two regions will be independent, with that status enshrined in pacts inked by President Vladimir Putin and the leaders of the two republics, Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik, the day before.

“Treaties of friendship, cooperation, and mutual assistance have been signed between Russia and these new states, in which we promise to safeguard their security,” the foreign minister said, adding, “I think everyone understands that.”
