Yet Another Country Recognizes Russia's New Territories

Nicaragua has officially recognized the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR), as well as the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions as full-fledged parts of the Russian Federation. This was stated in a letter addressed to President Vladimir Putin by Nicaragua’s co-presidents Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, published on the El 19 Digital government portal. "On behalf of the government and people of Nicaragua, we express our full support and recognition of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia as integral parts of the Russian Federation," the letter said. Ortega and Murillo emphasized their backing of Russia’s struggle against what they described as “Ukrainian neo-Nazism supported by NATO.” The co-presidents conveyed solidarity with Russian families who had “sacrificed the lives of their loved ones in defense of the Russian people and world peace.”
