"Before Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, it “recognised” two parts of
eastern Ukraine as sovereign states: the so-called people’s republics of
Donetsk and Luhansk. That recognition is now central to what both Russia and
the West are saying about the invasion.

Why does this kind of state recognition matter so much, and how does it
challenge international law?"
