This statement of MFA is related to the 40th anniversary of the resolution of the General Assembly of the United Nations “Definition of Aggression ” (3314 (XXIX). “The actions of the Russian Federation regarding Ukraine as one of the founding countries of UN, especially the occupation and anexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (Ukraine), as well as the on-going direct and indirect army intervention in Eastern Ukraine, fall under the category of aggression according to points a), b), c), d), e), and g) on page 3 appended to the resolution of the General Assembly UN 3314 (XXIX) ” – specified in the text of the statement. According to the MFA, the carrying out by Russia of an act of aggression against a sovereign country, disregarding its permanent mebership in the Council of Safety UN, is a crime against international peace and carries with it an international responsibility.
