Russia has recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, President Vladimir Putin has announced.
"I deem it necessary to make a decision that should have been made long ago - to immediately recognize the sovereignty and independence of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic," Putin said.
The Russian president signed the corresponding documents and asked the Federal Assembly to support the signing of treaties of cooperation with the Donbass breakaways.
Putin called on Kiev to "immediately stop hostilities" against the newly recognized republics, warning that "otherwise, all responsibility for the possibile continuation of bloodshed will be entirely on the conscience of the regime ruling Ukraine."
