Kenya condemns Russia

YEN.com.gh previously reported that Kenya confronted Russia for what it termed as undermining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

This is after the Vladimir Putin led super-power country recognised the Donetsk and Luhansk areas of Ukraine as independent states.

During an emergency Security Council meeting, Kenya's permanent representative to the UN Ambassador Martin Kimani said the country was gravely concerned by Russia's announcement.

During the Monday, February 21 conference, Kimani noted that Kenya's stand on diplomacy to help end the conflict in Ukraine was not considered.
