28 of February 2019 г.
U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo has reminded the world of the fifth anniversary of Russia's occupation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, confirming the U.S. strong support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
He stated this in an official statement released by the U.S. Department of State on Wednesday, February 27. "The world has not forgotten the cynical lies Russia employed to justify its aggression and mask its attempted annexation of Ukrainian territory. Russia’s use of force against a peaceful neighbor must not be tolerated by reputable states. The United States reiterates its unwavering position: Crimea is Ukraine and must be returned to Ukraine’s control," the statement reads. At the same time, the United States remains gravely concerned by the worsening repression by Russia’s occupation regime in Crimea. "The United States calls on Russia to release all of the Ukrainians, including members of the Crimean Tatar community, it has imprisoned in retaliation for their peaceful dissent. This includes Oleh Sentsov, Oleksandr Kolchenko, Volodymyr Balukh, Ruslan Zeytullayev, and approximately 70 others. We call on Russia to cease all its abuses immediately, to end its occupation of Crimea, and, in the meantime, to comply with its obligations under international law, including the law of occupation," the statement says. According to the U.S. Secretary of State, the United States will maintain sanctions against Russia until the Russian government returns control of Crimea to Ukraine and fully implements the Minsk agreements. "The United States reiterates its unbending support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, within its internationally recognized borders, including its territorial waters," Pompeo stressed.
