» On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognised the non-government-controlled areas of Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts as independent entities.

For many years, France and Germany have tried to find a peaceful settlement, both in the context of the Normandy format and in the OSCE framework. Russia's unilateral action puts an end to these efforts.
