Ukraine has cut all diplomatic ties with Russia after the Russian force invasion of Ukraine by land, air, and sea. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that in a video message on Thursday.
He announced that the country would break all diplomatic relations with Moscow in response to Russia’s Western- Backed neighbour invasion. It marked the first break in relations since Russia and Ukraine became independent countries after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky’s statement on video message- “Ukraine is defending itself and will not give up its freedom, no matter what Moscow thinks. Russia vilely and suicidally attacked our state in the morning. Just like fascist Germany did during World War 2. ”
Ukraine and Russia have maintained relations in a complicated history that included two pro-Western revolutions in Kyiv in 2004 and 2014 that the Kremlin strongly opposed.
Zelensky’s decision came after Putin’s launched an all-out offensive war against Ukraine from the northern and southern borders of the country.
