Ukrainian FM on Russia's request to UN: General Assembly rejects seizure of Crimea and Donetsk region
Ukrinform
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has responded to Russia's attempts to legitimize its occupation of the Donetsk region at the UN.
This was reported by Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi on the social network X, according to Ukrinform.
“Russia asked the UN if it recognises “self-determination” for the Donbas, similar to Greenland. Somebody has to tell these idiots that the UN has already responded: in October 2022, 143 UNGA members rejected Russia’s illegal land grabs. Bingo card: get the hell out of Ukraine,” the diplomat wrote.
As reported by Ukrinform, UN Secretary-General António Guterres ruled out using the principle of the self-determination of nations to Crimea and the Donetsk region.
