The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has protested the
participation of representatives of the occupation administration of Crimea in the 12th session of the World Urban Forum (WUF12), which is taking place from November 4 to 8 in Cairo with the support of the United Nations Program. This is stated in a statement published on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“We emphasize that the participation of representatives of the
occupation administration of the Russian Federation in events
organized or held under the auspices of international organizations, especially UN agencies, is a flagrant violation of international law and a number of UN General Assembly resolutions, in particular 68/262 “Territorial integrity of Ukraine,” the statement reads.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that Russia is trying to
use both international platforms and the territories of sovereign
states to legitimize the illegal occupation of Ukrainian territories, in particular, this time, the Arab Republic of Egypt. At the same time, Russia deliberately provokes tensions, including at the level of bilateral relations.
