President: Russia’s decision to recognize so-called passports of "DPR" and "LPR" is another evidence of Russian occupation

At the meeting with U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko informed him on the decision of Russian President Putin to recognize so-called passports of "DPR" and "LPR.

“For me it is another evidence of Russian occupation and violation of international law. It is very symbolical and cynical that it happened during the Munich Security Conference,” the Head of State noted, the press service of the President reported.

The Head of State noted that his meetings within the Munich Security Conference confirmed strong solidarity with Ukraine.

“It is very important that Ukraine remained among the main topics of the security conference today and yesterday. We have received another confirmation of a very powerful global solidarity with Ukraine that helps us during the aggression of Russia,” Poroshenko emphasized.

The President once again noted that not a single issue will be resolved behind Ukraine.
