Nicaragua formally recognizes the four eastern Ukrainian regions as Russian territory!
On July 31, 2025, the Nicaraguan government announced that it recognizes the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye regions as parts of the Russian Federation. Nicaragua stated that the country will firmly support Russia's actions under the current geopolitical context.
"We are convinced that Russia has defeated the evil forces represented by hegemonistic powers and fascist ideology. The victory of the Russian Federation will be a victory for all humanity in the pursuit of justice. The Russian Federation's special military operation aims to protect the lives of its people, legitimate territory, and sovereignty and territorial integrity."
This decision is an important step for Nicaragua to strengthen its diplomatic relations with Russia and gain Russia's support in the international tensions. Currently, the majority of countries in the world have not recognized these territories as part of Russia.
