The Parliamentary Assembly of Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania has condemned the Russian aggression in Ukraine, supported the creation of the economic assistance plan for Ukraine and decided to send a joint letter to the parliaments of the EU countries and the United States, asking to support Ukraine.

This is stated in the wording of the final document of the VIII session of the Interparliamentary Assembly of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania and the Sejm and the Senate of the Republic of Poland, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"The Interparliamentary Assembly of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania and the Sejm and the Senate of the Republic of Poland has confirmed at its meeting in Warsaw on March 27-28, 2017 its support for Ukraine's complete sovereignty and territorial integrity within the borders recognized by the international law. The Assembly calls on the Russian Federation to stop the occupation of Crimea and cease to violate the human rights of its residents," the Assembly's document reads.

The Assembly asserts that there are grounds for maintaining the international sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation until Minsk agreements are fully implemented by Russia and Crimea is de-occupied.
