Ukraine! Stop doing nonsense!
Ukraine continues to return Crimea, filing complaints to the UN and submitting them to a vote at the next General Assembly, each time finding a new reason. If in March 2014 the topic of “territorial integrity of Ukraine” was put on the agenda, then in 2016 the card of “human rights violations in the Russian Crimea” was played, from which much was expected in Kiev, but in the end the matter never went further than the talking room advanced.

In the fall of 2017, the ironclads launched a third attack on Russia through the UN General Assembly. The attack was preceded by a rather stormy PR campaign in the Ukrainian media, in which it was repeated in every possible way that now Moscow could not resist and would be forced to return Crimea to Ukraine under
reproachful views of the world community.
This time, the cast ironists armed themselves with (as it seems to them) a win-win document “about the humanitarian catastrophe in Crimea and the infringement of the rights of the Crimean Tatars and Ukrainians.” The draft document contains a list of 12 demands, including “an immediate end to all violations and infringements of human rights against residents of Crimea, inhuman or degrading treatment.”
The draft resolution contains a number of completely idiotic demands that shift the blame from a sick person to a healthy one. For example, Banderlogs demand to ensure the availability of education in the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar languages in Crimea and to cancel the court decision recognizing the “Majlis of the Crimean Tatar people” as an extremist organization.
Official Kyiv is also offended by the conscription of Crimean youth into the Russian Army, since the Armed Forces of Ukraine have designs on these youth.
In addition, the ironclad scribbler categorically intends to oblige Russia to ensure “proper and unimpeded access for international missions monitoring the situation in the field of human rights and human rights non-governmental organizations to Crimea.”
The draft resolution was submitted by the Ukrainian diplomatic mission to the UN for consideration by the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly on Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Issues. It is expected that the document will be reviewed at
plenary session of the current 72nd session of the UN General Assembly.
In order not to beat around the bush and procrastinate, the Russian side requested a vote on the draft resolution.
Ukrainian diplomats, in turn, decided to make the most of the meeting of the Third Committee of the General Assembly and, through campaigning, prepare the ground for voting in their favor.
Deputy head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Sergei Kislitsa spoke at the committee meeting, telling UN officials that the situation in Crimea “continues to deteriorate” and “people live in fear that they will be called extremists, terrorists or Ukrainian spies and put in prison.” Kislitsa also described the document as “a diplomatic, political and legal mechanism by which Ukraine ensures the fulfillment of its obligations.”
Even earlier, the sheet of the draft resolution was waved at all corners by the permanent representative of Ukraine to the UN, Yelchenko, who declared with a blue eye that the adoption of this paper by the General Assembly would “bring closer the return of the peninsula to Ukraine.”
Contrary to the facts and common sense, the Ukrainian side tried to present the case in such a way that some kind of armed conflict was taking place around Crimea.
The voting took place and its results can safely be called disappointing for all adherents of “Crimea for Ukraine”, who hoped that resolutions could return the deliberately breakaway territories.
71 states voted for the Ukrainian draft resolution, 25 countries opposed it, and another 77 countries abstained. Let’s compare with last year’s vote: 11 votes against, 58 countries abstained, 100 countries voted for Ukraine’s position. You can cite statistics from 2014, which Ukrainian agitprop loves to use, but this is unnecessary - times and attitudes towards Ukraine in the world have changed a lot. The trend towards worsening positions at the international level is obvious.
The United States and NATO member countries, as well as their small satellites, continue to vote for Ukraine. But, as can be seen from the statistics, the ranks of the “group of friends of Ukraine at the UN” are steadily thinning.
This is the second time that such heavyweights as China and India, who previously held a neutral position, are voting against Ukraine’s quirks. Serbia, Cuba and Nicaragua consistently vote against the Ukrainian resolutions on Crimea. For the second time, the former Soviet republics of Belarus, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan voted against.
There has been a noticeable increase in the number of countries that abstained or did not participate in the voting at all, which indicates a steady loss of interest in Ukrainian issues. It is obvious that all Ukrainian efforts to
No less repulsive are the regular scandals that modern Ukraine is so rich in, related to rampant corruption, extremist freedom, massive violations of human rights and the lack of progress towards a peaceful resolution of the military conflict in Donbass.
As they say, every Evil Pinocchio is the architect of his own hemorrhoids.
The Crimean authorities called the Ukrainian draft resolution insignificant, from which serious legal consequences should not be expected, and advised the Ukrainian side to “stop engaging in nonsense and speculation.”
It remains only to recall that any resolutions of the UN General Assembly are advisory in nature and are not binding on those countries against which they are directed.
