He stated this at a press conference on the results of the activities of Ukrainian diplomacy in 2017 and priorities in 2018.
According to Klimkin, there was no official proposal or diplomatic note about the weapons, he considers it a provocation. After all, according to the 1907 convention on the rules of warfare, weapons must begin to return after the conclusion of peace.
But there was no dialogue on these issues and the Ukrainian government will not do things that could weaken the political position.
He noted that they are not going to weaken the political and legal position of Ukraine.
As previously reported in URA-Inform, Russia respects the territorial integrity of Ukraine within the borders that formed after the "referendum" in the occupied Crimea. At the same time, the head of the Russian diplomatic department believes that Ukraine itself violated the Budapest Memorandum, which guaranteed its territorial integrity in response to the rejection of nuclear weapons.
