This was reported by "Ukrainian Week".

"First, UN General Assembly resolutions are the basis of international policy of non-recognition of Russia's attempt to annex Ukrainian Crimea. They put the issue of Russian aggression against Ukraine on the UN agenda, are an international instrument of political pressure on the aggressor and prevent the world community from adopting the status quo", - was noted by the First Deputy Foreign Minister.

On March 27, 2014, a policy of non-recognition was initiated by the UN General Assembly resolution "Territorial Integrity of Ukraine" 68/262. Then 100 countries voted "for" and supported Ukraine.

Since 2016, the international community has reaffirmed its commitment to the territorial integrity of Ukraine in the UN GA resolutions "The situation of human rights in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol (Ukraine)". Since 2018 - in the resolutions of the UN General Assembly "The problem of militarization of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol (Ukraine), as well as parts of the Black and Azov Seas".

"Secondly, the scope of repressions against the Crimean population, which supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine, knows no bounds. That is why we submit an updated and strengthened resolution to the General Assembly every year. It is important that most of these additions are reflected in the reports of the UN Secretary General on the human rights situation in Crimea, which are being prepared to implement our resolution", - Dzheppar said.

As she added, thirdly, such documentation of numerous offenses forms the necessary evidence base for the future bringing of the Russian Federation to international legal responsibility.
