"We strongly disagree with the appeals contained in the report to legitimize the documents issued by the illegal occupant self-proclaimed "authorities" of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and of certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, the ministry said
The ministry also refused any kind of cooperation between the government of Ukraine and the militant leaders.
The Ukrainian foreign office said it also believes that "the more active use of information obtained during meetings of representatives of HRMM with participants of "civil blockade" of Crimea would more accurately assess and reflect its genuine reasons and objective course."
The MFA of Ukraine shared the conclusion outlined in the report as for the relevance of the Minsk agreements and the importance of their implementation in order to stop large-scale human rights violations.
At this, the ministry noted that it “believes that the Mission should be more precise and objective in determining the real reasons, the level of responsibility for such violations, and the exact role of the Russian Federation, the ongoing military aggression of which is clearly the root cause of this shameful phenomenon."
