The Ministry said that “by acceding to the International Convention for the suppression of the financing of terrorism, the Russian Federation undertook to prevent the financing of terrorism, but in Ukraine it is the opposite.

And Russia has violated its international obligations due to its inability to prevent the supply of arms by Russian officials and other Russian citizens to known terrorist groups.”

The foreign Ministry recalled that “the joint investigation team, in which the active participation of Ukrainian investigators and prosecutors investigating the Downing of Malaysia airlines flight MH17 has established that the missile system “Buk” that shot down MH17, were handed over to illegal armed groups in the Donetsk region of Ukraine 53rd flak military brigade of the Russian Federation through the uncontrolled section of the Ukrainian-Russian state border.

The Ministry recalled the racial discrimination in Russia annexed the Crimea.

“Similarly, the Russian Federation is obliged to eliminate racial discrimination, but does the contrary in Ukraine. In Crimea, illegally occupied by Russia, the latter supports a policy of racial discrimination and cultural destruction, directed against those ethnic groups who have dared to oppose the attempt of annexation. Russia crushed the political, civil and cultural rights of these groups, including through the prohibition of the Mejlis, the representative body of the Crimean Tatar community; the disappearance and murder of the Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian activists; the prohibition of cultural collections and the suppression of the media and limit the opportunities for teaching children in their native language”, – said in a statement.

Ukraine initiated a case against Russia in International Court of justice in January 2017. In April 2017, the court issued an order on provisional measures, which ordered Russia to refrain from restrictions on the rights of the Crimean Tatar community to maintain its public institutions, including the Majlis, to ensure access to education in Ukrainian, and not to worsen a dispute, which is pending in court.

“In his Memorandum, Ukraine demands that Russia immediately cease violations of international conventions on the suppression of the financing of terrorism and the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination and has paid Ukraine financial compensation for the damage done to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people as a result of violations of Russia”, – said the foreign Ministry.
