In an interview with bdnews24.com in New York on Thursday, he said, Bangladesh is 'monitoring' the situation in Eastern Europe. Russian President Vladimir Putin called Ukraine an artificial creation carved from Russia by its enemies, a characterisation Ukrainians say is false. Despite Putin denying any plans of an invasion for months, tensions continued to simmer as Russia recognised Donetsk and Luhansk, two separatist-held territories in eastern Ukraine, as independent.

However, they did not hold any specific discussion on the situation in Ukraine, according to him.
