KIEV, Feb. 21 – The fact that Russia has recognized passports issued by the self-proclaimed republics in Donbas, eastern Ukraine, is not in keeping with the spirit of the Minsk peace agreements, and the European Union says it does not recognize such documents.
"The decree [issued by Russian President Vladimir Putin to enact the decision] is not in keeping with the spirit of the Minsk agreements," the EU Delegation to Ukraine said in a comment to Interfax-Ukraine on February 20.
