Russian President, head of the UN: I have read all UN documents on Kosovo ...

The self-proclaimed People's Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk have become independent from Ukraine in a manner similar to what happened in Kosovo.

This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, receiving in the Kremlin UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.

" I have read all the documents of the UN International Court of Justice regarding the situation in Kosovo and I remember very well the sentence that says that in exercising the right of self-determination a territory of a state is not obliged to obtain permission from the central authorities "of their country to declare sovereignty, something supported by all and which is a precedent ," Putin concluded.

Claiming that Kosovo had declared independence in 2008 without consulting Serbia, Putin asked Guterres if he agreed to set a precedent for the two Donbas "republics" to declare independence without Kiev's permission and for Moscow to recognize them. they as many western countries recognized Kosovo.

Guterres noted that the UN did not recognize Kosovo, but Putin ignored this statement and noted that the UN tribunal's decision was accepted and supported by all.
