Deputy Minister of foreign Affairs of Ukraine Sergiy Kyslytsya, which is part of the Ukrainian delegation in new York said that Russia continues to clear violations of its obligations as a state that occupies the Crimea. Crimeans live in fear of being called extremists, terrorists or Ukrainian spies, which means they’re a criminal prosecution.
