Summary/Abstract: Russia's expansionist policy in the northern Black Sea, namely Crimea, the city of Sevastopol and now in Ukraine, has a significant negative impact on the economic and social life of all European citizens and beyond, while also posing a significant threat to regional, European and world security. The illegal annexation of these areas and the current war declared to Ukraine by the Russian Federation violate international law, including the UN Charter, the Helsinki Final Act, the 1994 Budapest Memorandum and the 1997 Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. The European Union strongly condemns the actions considered to be genocide committed in the territory of Ukraine after the present invasion, firmly upholding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its historical borders..
