(ANSA) - UDINE - The UN General Assembly has adopted a Ukraine-initiated resolution entitled "Problem of the Militarization of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the City of Sevastopol, as well as Parts of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov". A total of 66 states supported the document, 19 voted against it and 72 abstained. Ukrinform and Tass reported.

The resolution points to security threats that Russia creates to Ukraine, the Black Sea region and the whole of Europe by the transfer of troops and weapons to Crimea, in particular, aircraft and missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. In addition, the resolution expresses grave concern about the progressive militarization of the peninsula and adjacent marine areas.

Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky noted that most countries abstained from voting. Polyansky also said that as a result of such decisions, "the Kiev regime receives new signals that everything is permitted and everything will be forgiven, and Russia will be blamed for all its sins", Tass also reported.
