Germany on Monday criticised as “unacceptable” Russia’s decision to recognise passports issued by separatist rebels in Ukraine’s eastern regions of Lugansk and Donetsk.
“The recognition of travel documents of the self-declared, so-called people’s republics of Lugansk and Donetsk undermines the unity of Ukraine,” said Chancellor Angela Merkel’s top spokesman Steffen Seibert.
“It directly contradicts everything that was agreed in Minsk (peace talks) and is, therefore, unacceptable.”
