Putin to consider recognising rebel-held Ukrainian regions as independent states – BBC News


In a meeting with the Russian security council, Vladimir Putin has asked for the separatist Donetsk and Luhansk "people’s republics" to be recognised as independent states.

Russia-backed rebels in those areas – located in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region – have been fighting the Ukrainian military since 2014 but Moscow has not officially recognised their self-declared republics.

Ukraine and the West fear that if this happens, it could lead Moscow to openly send military forces into the area.
