Ukraine Severed Ties With Nicaragua Over Crimea Recognition
In response to Nicaragua’s recognition of Crimea and other Ukrainian territories as Russian, Ukraine has officially severed diplomatic ties with Managua. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry condemned this action, deeming it a violation of international law and an attempt to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty. Kyiv emphasized that the recognition is invalid and will not alter Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders. This decision follows Nicaragua’s previous support for Russia’s actions and recognition of separatist entities, reflecting a broader policy of Ukraine to strongly react to any infringement upon its territorial integrity.
