Ukrainian authorities are counting on the EU to impose additional sanctions against Russia under the false pretext of “human rights violations” in Crimea
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said of Kiev’s plans on Friday, 19 February.
“Last year I called on the European Union to apply the mechanism of sanctions responses to human rights violations in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. We will consistently insist that sanctions should be implemented for such human rights violations. As early as today, I will sign these documents, and we will address the European Union with such a request”, – the official said.
Kuleba also noted that the issue of Crimea and Donbas will be discussed at the UN General Assembly on 23 February.
