Ukraine – Russia, live the last minute

According to the press center of Operation Ukrainian Joint Forces, no offensive has been carried out against the eastern separatists today, thus respecting the Minsk agreements for a peace settlement in the Donbass.

“Ukrainian army units are in place, respect the Minsk agreements and do not launch any offensive,” they said in a statement on Facebook. Thus, Ukraine denies shooting at a checkpoint on Russian territory, which Moscow has denounced.

The escalating tension over the situation in Ukraine today translates into a sharp depreciation of the ruble against the euro and the dollar, as well as the largest collapse since 2008 on the Moscow Stock Exchange.

This was especially noticeable this afternoon, after the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, renounced the possibility of recognizing the sovereignty of rebel administrations in eastern Ukraine, as demanded by the separatists in Donbass.

Remember that Russia is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council with veto power.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said today that he will make a decision on recognizing two separate regions in eastern Ukraine this afternoon.

Today, the Russian army said that Ukrainian military saboteurs tried to enter the Russian territory in armored vehicles. This is what Kiev called “fake news”, with the West accusing Russia of trying to create a pretext for the invasion.

The Russian military claimed that five people were killed when the plan of the Ukrainian saboteurs was thwarted. Kiev and its Western allies have been saying for days that Moscow could create a pretext to invade Ukraine with a massive force focused on the border.

Sanchez referred to the development of the situation in Ukraine at the press conference he gave with the Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, after the meeting they had in the Palacio de la Moncloa.

“With your consent, this meeting is scheduled for this week, on February 24 in Geneva,” he said at an expanded meeting of the Russian Security Council chaired by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“President Putin has made it very clear, and has made it clear more than once, that we are not against summits, or meetings, but before the meeting, especially in such a tense environment, it is important to understand how these summits will end” and what will be the outcome, Lavrov said.

“The American colleague stressed that Ukraine will not be accepted (in NATO) tomorrow, moreover, it is possible that there will be some kind of delay,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said at an expanded meeting of the Russian Security Council.
