DISINFO: Unlike the US, Russia recognizes the sovereignty of other countries
SUMMARY
Unlike the US, Russia recognizes the right of any other country to exist as a sovereign state.
RESPONSE
Contradicted not least by Russia's illegal actions in Ukraine. The European Union does not recognise and continues to strongly condemn this violation of international law, which remains a challenge to the international security order. The United Nations General Assembly Resolution No. 68/262, adopted on 27 March 2014 and supported by 100 states, clearly says that Russia's actions in the peninsula as well as the referendum held in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea violate international law.
