The UN Security Council meets urgently this Friday to study the conflict, after Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of the self-proclaimed separatist republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, in eastern Ukraine.
This extraordinary meeting is something very unusual, not only because of the time it was called, but because of the haste.
“Mexico reiterates its commitment to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity, within its internationally recognized borders, in accordance with the United Nations Charter, international law and relevant United Nations resolutions. “, said Juan Ramón de la Fuente, Mexico’s representative to the UN.
During the Security Council, the Mexican authorities asked Russia to comply with its declaration that it had no intention of invading Ukraine.
