Details: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the decision by Nicaragua to recognise the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine as part of Russia and announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the regime in Managua.

Quote: "We consider this decision an attempt by Managua to undermine Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, a flagrant violation of the UN Charter and the fundamental norms and principles of international law.

The recognition by the Nicaraguan regime of the 'subjectivity' of the Russian occupation administration in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea is null and void, will have no legal consequences and will not change the internationally recognised borders of Ukraine."

Details: The ministry added that Nicaragua's support for Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, its attempt to legitimise the forcible seizure of part of Ukraine's territory, its official recognition of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, and the opening of an illegal "honorary consulate of Nicaragua" in temporarily occupied Crimea, Ukraine, indicate Nicaragua's "political identification with the aggressor state and the direct financial and political dependence of the puppet regime in Managua on Moscow".

In response to these unfriendly acts, Ukraine has declared the severance of diplomatic relations with the Republic of Nicaragua.
