❗️ The Kazan Summit Declaration contains a section on #Ukraine saying that all the parties involved agreed on the importance of resolving this conflict on the basis of the principles of the #UN Charter in their entirety and interconnectedness.
☝️ This is a critical observation. Our Western colleagues continue to play along with the Kiev regime and contend that the conflict should be resolved on the basis of the UN Charter with Ukraine preserving its territorial integrity as of the 1991 borders. However, the UN Charter is much broader than the concept of territorial integrity. In 1970, the UN General Assembly resolved that the territorial integrity of all countries must be respected provided their governments represent the entire population residing within the borders in question.
❓Can we claim in earnest that this regime represents the people living in the #Donetsk and #Lugansk people’s republics, #Crimea, and the #Kherson and #Zaporozhye regions at a time when, following the coup, they adopted Russophobic and racist laws outlawing the Russian language in all spheres of life in Ukraine? When they branded the people of Donbass, Novorossiya, and Crimea who rejected the coup as terrorists and unleashed a war against them using air and artillery strikes? Clearly, the answer is no.
