Georgia condemns so-called elections in Ukraine’s occupied regions

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia has condemned the so-called elections in Ukraine’s “integral Eastern regions”, the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, on 11 November.

The conduction of such illegal ‘elections’ in the regions, where due to Russia’s effective control, the Ukrainian authorities are unable to exercise their legitimate jurisdiction, grossly violates the fundamental norms and principles of international law and is interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine,” the Georgian Foreign Ministry says.

This completely contradicts the commitments under the Minsk Agreements and prevents the peaceful resolution of the conflict,” the ministry says.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia says that the country “unequivocally supports” the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders.
