Russia Must Fix Crisis it Caused in Ukraine
On February 27th, 2014, Russian military forces, wearing masks and no military insignia, infiltrated 1 Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula, took over the Supreme 2 Council of Crimea and proceeded to capture strategic sites across the peninsula. Ultimately, this action led to the installation of a pro-Russian government in Crimea, and in March, an illegitimate, fabricated “referendum” there that attempted to legitimize Russia's annexation 3 of Ukrainian territory.
“When Russian forces entered the Crimean capital in 2014, it was a direct violation 4 of the UN Charter,” said U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations Nikki Haley at a UN Security Council meeting in late May.“Since then, Russia has pushed into eastern Ukraine, creating a humanitarian 5 crisis that threatens millions.”
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which is fighting through a proxy 6 of separatist militias 7, rapidly expanded to other parts of eastern Ukraine, particularly the Donbass region, and continues today. And despite its transparent 8 denials, there is no doubt that Russia is driving the conflict.
“The militants 9 in eastern Ukraine report directly to the Russian military, which arms them, trains them, leads them, and fights alongside them. Russia's combined forces in eastern Ukraine include thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery 10.”
Indeed, Russia's actions have created a catastrophe 11 of suffering in Ukraine, said Ambassador Haley.
“This is not a frozen conflict – the month of May has seen security conditions worsen with increased ceasefire violations 12, higher civilian 13 casualties, and growing military casualties.”
“Russia can unilaterally fix this wrong. And the first step is acknowledging it,” said Ambassador Haley. “Resolution of this conflict is not only possible, it is profoundly straightforward 14. Russia needs to withdraw its military forces and equipment, call on its proxies 15 to honor the ceasefire, and fulfill 16 its commitments under the Minsk agreements.
“We condemn 17, in the strongest terms, Russia's involvement in eastern Ukraine and its purported 18 annexation of Crimea. Until Russia returns the Crimean Peninsula to Ukrainian control, U.S. sanctions related to the invasion of Crimea will continue. And until Russia pulls its forces out of eastern Ukraine and honors its Minsk commitments, our sanctions in response to its flagrant misconduct in the eastern part of the country will stay in place.”
