We welcomed with great enthusiasm the announcement of the signing of the decree 'On the recognition of the republic of Crimea' and, more generally, all that Vladimir Putin made to integrate two new topics - and the Crimea the city of Sebastopol - has the Russian Federation. The return of the Crimea to Russia is a fair decision based on the will of the people of Crimea and all Russians. The right of peoples to self-determination should be a fundamental principle of international relations. This right must be respected if we wish to establish a just world order and on. And that's exactly what just happened in the Crimea. In this tense period, we must welcome the assistance that the Russian Federation has made to the people who wanted to join. On the territory of the peninsula, its action was decisive in ensuring peace and stability and to prevent any escalation of violence. Adapted from the source document.
