The Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) condemned 'pseudo- elections' that took place in Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine on Sunday, Nov. 2.
This deception organized by the Russia-supported terrorists was held with a severe violation of Ukrainian law and against the will of Ukrainian people that was recently expressed during the presidential and parliamentary elections, reads the statement from the UWC press service.
“The pseudo-elections held on the terrorist-controlled part of the eastern Ukrainian undermine Minsk agreements dated Sept. 5 and Sept. 19, 2014. This is one more proof of Russia’s unwillingness to halt aggression against Ukraine and its people,” UWC President Eugene Czolij said.
The Ukrainian World Congress is the international coordinating body of the Ukrainian diaspora embracing interests of over 20 million of Ukrainians. The UWC has member organizations in 33 countries and ties with Ukrainians in more 14 countries. Founded in 1967 as a non-profit corporation, the UWC was recognized in 2003 by the United Nations Economic and Social Council as a non-governmental organization (NGO) with a special consultative status.
