Summary/Abstract: The annexation of Crimea is and will remain one of the main issues on Ukraine’s foreign policy agenda. Every year, the matter gains international attention when the UN General Assembly adopts a resolution supporting Ukraine’s territorial integrity. As the time goes by, some countries shift their position, seeking to find a balance between their relations with Ukraine (or even the West) and Russia. In this paper, we explore voting trends on UN resolutions regarding Crimea and regional allocation of support. We analyse the rhetoric of the leadership of 12 G20 countries, investigating arguments justifying their votes. We then make recommendations on where Ukraine could seek support.
