Putin speculates on Kosovo precedent, justifying alleged right of pseudo-republics of Donbass to independence

The owner of the Kremlin is covered by the decision of the UN International Court of Justice.

Self-proclaimed terrorist organizations so-called « DNR “and” LNR “declared their” independence “, using the precedent set in Kosovo. And Russia attacked Ukraine “in full accordance with the UN Charter.” This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, according to Russian propaganda media.

“I know each other very well, I have personally read all the documents of the UN International Court of Justice on the situation in Kosovo. I remember very well the decision of the International Court of Justice, which states that in exercising the right to self-determination, one or another territory of a state is not obliged to apply for permission to declare its sovereignty to the country's central government, “Putin said.

Guterres said the UN had not recognized Kosovo's independence.

But Putin continued to stand up for the attack on Ukraine.

“If this precedent is set, the Donbass republics could do the same. We, for our part, have been given the right to recognize them as independent states. Many countries around the world have done this, including our opponents in the West regarding Kosovo, “he said.

After that, Putin continued, the DPR and LPR appealed to Russia to provide them with military assistance “in relation to the state that conducts military operations against them.” We had the right to do so in full compliance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, “the Kremlin leader said.
