On the 23rd, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed the current situation in eastern Ukraine. Putin said that under the circumstance of the Ukrainian government’s “aggression” against the Donbass and its categorical refusal to implement the Minsk agreement, the decision of the Russian side to recognize the independence of the two areas controlled by the eastern Ukrainian civil forces is objectively necessary.

Putin also expressed his disappointment at the relevant statements of the United States and NATO on security issues, and he believed that the response of the United States and NATO was only to ignore Russia’s legitimate concerns and demands.
