Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov questions Ukraine's right to sovereignty, says many people reject the current regime in Kyiv
"If we talk about the principle of sovereignty and territorial integrity, one of the key documents ... is the Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations among Peoples," he was quoted as saying.

"I don't think anyone can claim that the Ukrainian regime, since the 2014 coup d'état, represents all the people living on the territory of the Ukrainian state," Lavrov was quoted as saying.Reporting by Anton Kolodyazhnyy; writing by Tom Balmforth; editing by Mark Trevelyan
