Two years ago, the
Russian Federation, by committing an armed aggression against Ukraine, began
the process of rewriting the post-war history, violating the norms of
international law, which are the basis of peaceful coexistence. Russia ceased
to be a part of the civilized world and has become a pariah state.
Russian military
in green uniforms without any insignia became a symbol of a hybrid war, and
their landing in the Ukrainian Crimea started the Kremlin’s blatant flouting of
international law and violating human rights in the occupied peninsula. Under
the #Russian_occupation, #Crimea has become a "gray zone" where
injustice, terror, intimidation, kidnapping and torture prevail.
Occupation
authorities commit systematic and large-scale violations of fundamental rights
and freedoms, wage a hidden war against dissidents, destroy the signs
of linguistic, religious and cultural identity of Ukrainians and indigenous
people of Crimea - Crimean Tatars. The actions of the Russian authorities aimed
at banning the Majlis activity, as well as political processes
against Crimean Tatars in the occupied peninsula clearly prove the tyranny of
the occupants.
International
community has unanimously expressed its solidarity with Ukraine in its fight
against Russian armed aggression. Democratic nations condemned the occupation,
imposed sanctions against Russia and its leadership in order to restore the
territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders.
Ukraine demands
from the Russian Federation to stop the occupation, repressions and numerous
provocations against Ukrainian citizens and pro-Ukrainian people of the Crimean
peninsula.
We call on the
international community to increase political and diplomatic pressure on Russia
as the occupant state and to support Ukraine's initiative of establishing an
international platform to discuss the issues that are vitally important for the
people of the occupied peninsula and the entire world community.
