“For the first time since the Second World War, the generally recognized borders of Europe are cynically redrawn by a country... The Ukrainian people will never recognize the annexation of part of their territory – the Autonomous Republic of Crimea,” the resolution says.
Deputies of the Rada call on the world community to “refrain from recognizing the entry of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol into the Russian Federation as subjects.”
“Crimea was, is and will be part of Ukraine,” the Rada declares.
“The Ukrainian people will never, under any circumstances, stop the struggle for the liberation of Crimea, no matter how difficult and lengthy it may be,” the declaration summarizes.
