Russische parlementariërs dringen bij Poetin aan op erkenning separatistische Oekraïense regio's

February 15, 2022 - Russia’s lower house of parliament has voted to ask President Vladimir Putin to recognise two Russian-backed breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine as independent.

The move by the State Duma, if approved, could further inflame a wider standoff over a Russian military build-up near Ukraine that has fuelled Western fears that Moscow could attack. Russia denies any invasion plans and has accused the West of hysteria, Reuters said.
