The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has said Ukraine continues to consolidate international efforts to achieve the complete de-occupation of Crimea and Sevastopol and to bring Russia to justice for its crimes.
"On that day in 2014, the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People organized a ten-thousand-strong rally in front of the Crimean Parliament building in Simferopol in protest against the intentions to tear Crimea away from Ukraine. Since then, February 26 has become for Ukraine a symbol of resistance to the occupation, which has already lasted for seven years," the ministry said in a comment on Resistance to Occupation of Crimea and Sevastopol Day on February 26.
