(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The U.S. Department of State once again emphasized that it did not recognize and will never recognize Russia's claimed annexation of Crimea, and also welcomed the efforts of the Crimea Platform, which reminds the world of the ongoing Occupation of the peninsula. That's according to the official statement by the State Department entitled 'Crimea is Ukraine,' published on Sunday, Ukrinform reports.
'Nine years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine and seized Crimea – a clear violation of international law and of Ukraine's Sovereignty and territorial integrity,' the statement recalls.
In this regard, it is emphasized that the United States 'welcomes the efforts of Ukraine's Crimea Platform,' which focuses global attention on the continued Russian occupation.
