russia’s withdrawal of its military troops from eastern Ukraine and Crimea is the only acceptable outcome and the only one to be accepted, Acting Permanent Representative of the U.S. to the United Nations, Ambassador Jonathan Cohen told a UN Security Council briefing on the situation on Ukraine convened by russia on Tuesday, Feb 12.

“The United States underscores our unequivocal position on Ukraine. We do not, and will not, recognize the kremlin’s purported annexation of Crimea. We will never accept anything less than the full restoration of Ukraine’s control over its own territory, whether in eastern Ukraine or Crimea, including its territorial waters,” – he said.

The Ambassador called “ironic” the fact that it was russia who called the meeting to discuss the Minsk agreements “given that russia has clearly failed to honor and implement” them.
