Ukraine may cut diplomatic ties with Russia: Ukrain President

Ukraine may cut diplomatic ties with Russia: Ukrain President. 

Kyiv, Ukraine: This is how it works: Ukraine may cut off diplomatic ties with Russia after Moscow agreed to recognize two breakaway regions of eastern Ukraine as an independent. 

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said at a news conference on Tuesday that this could happen.

Zelenskiy told his Estonian counterpart that he was considering a request from his foreign ministry to break off ties with them.

He also told Ukraine’s allies not to wait for more violence before putting sanctions in place, which he said should include shutting down the Russian-led Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which is waiting for approval to carry Russian gas under the Baltic Sea to Germany.

“I’ve been asked to do something by the foreign ministry. I’ll look at the question of cutting off diplomatic relations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. I will think about this right after our press conference, “He said that.

International outrage and U.S. sanctions were swiftly imposed after Vladimir Putin announced that Russian troops would be sent to the two breakaway regions on Monday. 

President Joe Biden signed an executive order to stop U.S. businesses from doing business in the breakaway regions, which Putin had signed.

In the coming days, the United States and its European allies were going to put new sanctions on Russia. 

Zelenskiy, who accused Russia of destroying peace efforts in a late-night address to the country, played down the chances of a big fight with Russia, but he said he was ready to put martial law in place if that happened.

“How do we feel about martial law? This is a question we know the answer to. That there will be no war, there will be no powerful war against Ukraine, and the Russian Federation will not go on a big rampage. We think that there will be no war. The government will put martial law in place if there is a (large rise)” He said that.
