By jointly urging Moscow on Thursday to relinquish control over the South Ossetia and Abkhazia areas.
Six major Western nations commemorated the 15th anniversary of Russia’s annexation of 20% of Georgia’s landmass
In a unified declaration, the United States, United Kingdom, France, Albania, Japan, and Malta all representing the six constituents of the U.N. Security Council conveyed that Russia’s incursion into Georgia in 2008 had inaugurated a more forceful pattern in its dealings with Western nations. This conduct, as observed in the current events involving Ukraine, was underscored by the statement with Western nations.
Formulated subsequent to confidential deliberations within the council pertaining to Georgia, the statement emphasized that these Western nations are unwavering in their commitment to reassert the Western nations’ autonomy, sovereignty, and geographical integrity as recognized globally. In the backdrop of a swift conflict between Russia and Georgia in August 2008, stemming from Georgia’s ill-fated endeavor to regain control over the seceded region of South Ossetia, Moscow proceeded to validate the self-governance of South Ossetia and another seceded Georgian province, Abkhazia.
Subsequently, military installations were erected in these areas
The statement, conveyed by Albanian Ambassador Ferit Hoxha outside the confines of the Security Council, flanked by diplomats from the Western nations, censured Russia’s “violent intrusion” and its continuous occupation of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which were characterized as strides towards the assimilation of these Georgian domains.
