MADRID, 26 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Margareta Cederfelt, has emphasized that “regardless of the political parties”, all its regional members “will continue to defend” the defense of international law, which on this occasion passes for the unconditional withdrawal of Russia from the territory of Ukraine.
On the occasion of the Parliamentary Summit of the Crimean Platform held on Tuesday in Zagreb, the Croatian capital, Cederfelt has once again reiterated that there is “full solidarity with the people of Ukraine” among the international community.
During his speech, Cederfelt pointed out that the parliamentarians of the States that make up the OSCE share “the suffering of millions of Ukrainians” during this eight-month-old war and remain firm in their support for the sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
Before Russia started this war, Cederfelt recalled that the OSCE had already been denouncing since 2014 its annexation of Crimea as a “clear, flagrant and uncorrected violation of the Helsinki Final Act”.
The summit, which brought together at the request of the Government of Ukraine political representatives from dozens of countries in order to increase international pressure on Russia, concluded with a joint statement calling for “continued political, diplomatic, financial, humanitarian and other measures to restore the internationally recognized territorial integrity of Ukraine”.
