Croatia supports territorial integrity of Ukraine

Croatia has consistently supported the territorial integrity of Ukraine. It is aware of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Donbas and human rights violations in Crimea.

Deputy Speaker of the Croatian Parliament Željko Reiner said this during a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze in Zagreb, the Governmental portal reported.

"Croatia constantly declares at the international level that the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine should be respected. We are fully aware of the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Donbas and human rights violations in Crimea," Reiner said.

In turn, Klympush-Tsintsadze states that Ukraine highly appreciates Croatia's support and cooperation at the international level, in particular, in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, as well as Croatia's principled position on condemning Russian aggression and supporting the territorial integrity of our country. She thanked Croatia for the active humanitarian support of Ukraine, noting that over the past two years more than 1,500 Ukrainian children and ATO soldiers rested in Adriatic resorts of this country.
