Statement on “Russia’s ongoing aggression against Ukraine and illegal occupation of Crimea”
Delivered by Ambassador
Ihor
Prokopchuk
, Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the International Organizations in Vienna, to the 1168th meeting of the Permanent Council, 14 December 2017
Mr. Chairperson,
The discussions at the OSCE Ministerial Council last week in Vienna have again testified to the broad recognition that the on-going Russian aggression against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine remains the gravest threat to the European security. The illegal occupation and attempted annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, grave human rights violations in the peninsula constitute flagrant breaches of the OSCE principles and commitments. The hybrid warfare led by the Russian mercenaries and troops in certain areas of the Donetsk and
Luhansk
regions of Ukraine continues to take away scores of lives of civilians and Ukrainian servicemen, sow destruction and bring sufferings and hardships to millions of people living in parts of Donbas under Russia’s effective control, with the flags of the Russian Federation flying “outside certain public buildings” in the
Luhansk
city as reported by the SMM.
