UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres slammed Russia's move to recognize two eastern Ukrainian separatist regions as independent Monday as a "violation" of Kyiv's sovereignty.

"The Secretary-General considers the decision of the Russian Federation to be a violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and inconsistent with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations," he said in a statement, reports BSS.
