Ukraine will not agree to agreements like the 1945 Yalta
Conference or the Minsk accords, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said during
the OSCE Ministerial Council meeting in Malta, according to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry’s
press service.
Sybiha also added that as long as Russia continues to
violate the principles and commitments of the OSCE, the organization must
remain a platform for holding Moscow accountable.
The annual meeting of the foreign ministers of the 57 OSCE
member countries took place on Dec. 4-5 in Malta. Sybiha and U.S. Secretary of
State Antony Blinken are among the participants.
Earlier, Sybiha left the OSCE plenary hall before Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s speech. Prior to this, Sybiha had called
Lavrov a “war criminal.” Following the Ukrainian foreign minister’s departure,
several other foreign ministers and diplomats also left the hall.
The foreign ministers of Poland and the Czech Republic also
announced they would boycott Lavrov’s speech at the OSCE.
On Feb. 4, 1945, the Yalta Conference began in Crimea, with
the participation of the leaders of the United States, the United Kingdom, and
the Soviet Union, where they discussed the postwar fate of Europe. Among other
decisions, the borders of Poland were set along the Curzon Line with slight
deviations in favor of Poland, reparations for Poland from German eastern territories,
and the establishment of a so-called “government of national unity” in the
country. The principles of the division of Germany, occupation regimes, and
reparations were also approved.

- Set of measures for the implementation of the Minsk
Protocol.
