Demonstrators march in Odessa, Ukraine, on Sunday, marking the date on which, eight years ago, more than a hundred people were killed during Ukraine's Maidan revolution. Waving national flags and placards with slogans such as 'No Putin, No Cry', they said they had come out to demonstrate against a potential Russian invasion and that they were prepared to defend their city if needed.

The recognition is a“flagrant violation of international law, the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and the Minsk agreements”, it tweeted on Monday night.
Switzerland also called on Russia“to uphold its international obligations and to reverse its action”.
