Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns the so-called referenda held by the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine and illegal annexation of these territories which is a clear act to forcefully change the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine.
According to MFA, through this yet another illegal move by the Russian Federation, the fundamental principles of international law, protecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states, have once again been grossly violated.
“Georgia, which has already been through the experience to forcefully change the internationally recognized borders, will never recognize the so-called illegal referenda conducted in the Ukrainian regions and reaffirms its firm and unwavering support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders,” the statement reads.
