Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko stated in Kiev, on Friday, that Ukrainian diplomats allegedly achieved "recognition of Russia as an aggressor" at the recent Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe [PACE] autumn session in Strasbourg. Poroshenko addressed students of the military lyceum on the occasion of the Defender of Ukraine Day.
"Thanks to the coordinated work of Ukrainian diplomats and the Ukrainian delegation in PACE, one can achieve a clear recognition of Russia as an aggressor and include in the resolution a point about the need to continue sanctions against the Russian Federation," Poroshenko stated.
He went on to stress that such "recognition" was a "common success of the pro-Ukrainian international coalition, members of parliament of Ukraine and our diplomats."
Poroshenko also commented on the conflict in eastern Ukraine, saying that "obvious and undeniable security issues should precede the steps of a political settlement."
