Ukraine condemns in the
strongest terms yet another Kremlin-manufactured provocation and rejects all
accusations, which are completely groundless. Under a made up pretext, the
Kremlin is undertaking another hybrid special operation with the aim to justify
its future aggressive actions against Ukraine.
Concentration of Russian
weaponry, armaments and military forces in the temporarily occupied territories
in Crimea and Donbas as well as along the Ukrainian-Russian border is a cause
of particular concern. This situation signals an imminent threat to the peace
and stability not only in Ukraine but also in the entire region. The occupying
power does not limit itself to daily shellings in Donbas but also
uses staged sabotage acts in Crimea in an attempt to shift responsibility for
its own destructive actions on Ukraine and on our partners.
Ukraine resolutely and
consistently condemns terrorism in all its manifestations. Against this
background, it should be recalled that since the beginning of the Russian
aggression against Ukraine in February 2014 thousands lost their lives – both
Ukrainians and foreign nationals - as a result of terrorist acts carried out
with financial, material and technical support of the aggressor state. In
particular, it is worth recalling the downing of the MH17 flight, rocket
attacks against Volnovakha, Mariupol, Kramatorsk and other peaceful
Ukrainian cities and towns.
Ukraine urges the
international community to take all possible political and diplomatic steps to
exert influence on the Kremlin in order to prevent a new round of aggression
against Ukraine and the ultimate disruption of the Minsk peace process by the
Kremlin.
