Wołodymyr Zelanski comments on the meeting in London. Thank you partners and reminds the USA about the “Crimean Declaration”
“There were a lot of emotions today. But it is good that five countries have met to bring peace. Ukraine, the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany. The parties expressed their views and respected mutual positions. It is important that each party was not only present, but also worked significantly. The American side shared their vision. Ukraine and other Europeans presented their conclusions. Working together will lead to a lasting room.
The Ukrainian president then emphasized that “Ukraine will always act in accordance with its constitution”, which means that it would not agree to the devotion of part of its territory (in accordance with Article 3 of the Ukrainian Constitution, the sovereignty of the state extends to its entire territory. Ukraine is a unitarious state, and its territory is uninhabable at the current borders).
“We are absolutely sure that our partners, in particular the United States, will act in accordance with their strong decisions” – emphasized Zelanski, posting the statement of US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo from July 2018.
“Crimean Declaration” of the USA. During the first term of Trump, the United States clearly referred to the annexation of Crimea
“Russia, through its invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and an attempt to annex Crimea, tried to undermine the fundamental international principle shared by democratic states: that no country can change the boundaries of another force. The countries of the world, including Russia, agreed to this principle in the United Nations Card, committing to stopping from the threat or the use of force against territorial integrity or political independence any state.
“As in the Welles declaration of 1940, the United States confirms their policy of refusing to recognize the Kremlin's claims to sovereignty over the territory of intercepted force in violation of international law. In consultation with allies, partners and international community The United States rejects the attempt to annex Crimea by Russia and undertake to maintain this policy until the territorial integrity of Ukraine is restored” – The US position sounded.
The United States then called on Russia to respect international principles and end the occupation of Crimea. “Because democratic countries seek to build a free, fair and prosperous world, We must maintain our involvement in the international principle of sovereign equality and respect territorial integrity other countries. Through its actions, Russia survived in an unworthy way of a great nation and decided to isolate itself from the international community, “the Secretary of State of the US claimed in 2018.
