Andrii Parubii: “The major PABSEC’s diplomatic wins are support of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty and sheer ‘zeroing’ of powers of the person conceiving of himself to be a deputy to the State Duma of the Russian Federation on behalf of the occupied Crimea”
While in Istanbul, Andrii Parubii, the Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine stressed at the briefing that the major PABSEC’s diplomatic wins were the support of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty and sheer ‘zeroing’ of powers of the person conceiving of himself to be a deputy to the State Duma of the Russian Federation on behalf of the occupied Crimea.
“The free world countries will never recognize the so called elections in the Crimea held by the Russian occupants as legitimate. This means that all and any offenders chosen to be Crimean deputies to the State Duma are mere pretenders, and will sooner or later be punished. That elections have virtually made the Duma powerless,’ added A.Parubii.
