Russia uses a new tactic to make annexation of the territories of Ukraine legitimate - the media

Journalists write that Russia is using climate and ecology changes to legitimize the annexation of the Ukrainian territory at the international level. Ukraine and Russia are fighting for greenhouse gas emissions in the Crimea and other Kremlin -occupied territories. About it reports The Washington Post. It is reported that this is a new method by which the Russian Federation tries to legitimize its annexation.

Both sides are preparing to meet in Egypt in November for the new UN Climate Negotiation Round. Ukraine and Russia are expected to present official emissions. According to former Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Alex Ryabchin, if the UN members sign documents in which Russia includes Crimean emissions in its territory, it will be a step to normalize the use of force to change borders.

"Every document that does not say that Crimea is Ukrainian is a hybrid Russian diplomatic strategy aimed at legitimizing this," he said. According to the head of the Ministry of Ecology Ruslan Sagittarius, some international politicians in the past have asked Ukraine to separate climate issues from political dispute over Crimea. They said that the real count of global emissions is more important in diplomacy. However, Kyiv continued to include Crimean emissions in its annual reports.

Sagittarius stated that it gave Putin courage. "These calls made in peacetime actually pushed him before the war," he said. The minister refused to name one of these Western politicians named, but said that UN officials were often a problem. Yes, Ukrainian diplomats have to spend a lot of time to convince the UN Secretariat to adhere to the organization's resolutions.

Earlier, Focus reported that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation stated that Ukraine did not fulfill the conditions of the Budapest Memorandum. According to Russian diplomats, Moscow has never threatened Ukraine with nuclear weapons. It was also reported that Moldova declared his readiness to declare mobilization.

According to the Minister of Defense of the country, if the situation around the Russian-Ukrainian armed confrontation is deteriorating, Moldova has enough personnel military and reservists to ensure himself safety. We will also remind that in the UK is waiting for the return of Boris Johnson to the post of prime minister. According to the survey, 63% of the Conservative Party would cast their votes for Boris Johnson, 60% for Risha Snak, 54% - for Penny Mordont, Junior Minister of Trade Policy.
