Nicaragua recognized four regions of Ukraine as part of the Russian Federation: in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are threatened with a "commendable answer"

The authorities of the Latin American country have declared recognition of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhya regions in the territories of Russia. In their opinion, the Russian army is "heroic struggle against NATO -supported Ukrainian neonacism. " Nicaragua leaders support Russia's aggressive war and are confident in its "victory". "We are solidarity with Russian families who sacrificed the lives of loved ones to protect the Russian people and peace around the world.

The victory of Russia is the victory of mankind," they believe. It should be noted that Daniel Ortega has been constantly rules Nicaragua since 2007. He also headed the republic from 1985 to 1990. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine drew attention to the statement of Nicaragua leadership. Ukraine sets such statements as unfriendly actions and a gross violation of international law and reserves the right to a commensurate response.

The Foreign Ministry recalled that the recognition of the Russian occupation of the Ukrainian territories contains the resolution of the UN General Assembly 3314. In the resolution of ES-11/4 of October 12, 2022, the UN General Assembly called on all countries not to recognize changes in the status of Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Luhansk and Kherson. "Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions have been and remain integral parts of Ukraine.

Any so-called" referendums "," consultations "or the statements of the occupiers, as well as" recognition "of these illegal actions by third states, are legally worthless and do not create legal consequences. In February 2021, Ukraine imposed sanctions against Nicaragua through the opening of the country's honorary consulate in the occupied Simferopol.
