Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine Condemn Russia’s ‘Aggressive Actions’

In a joint resolution released on December 27, the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine stated that Russia’s actions in the Kerch Strate were “a blatant violation of international law” and represent a continuation of “direct military aggression” against Ukraine.

The resolution underlines the three countries’ support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty and condemns Russia’s actions. “The Parliaments of the three signatory States will never agree to Russia’s occupation and annexation by military force and illegal actions,” states the resolution.

The Assembly called on the international community, especially the EU and US, to act against Russia’s actions in the region whilst also politically supporting democratic Eastern European States.

The first meeting of the Assembly took place October 5-6, 2018 in Tbilisi. It is intended as a forum to discuss matters of common interest between Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
