Russia won’t sign IAEA report that defines Crimea as Ukrainian territory
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRussia refuses to sign on the International Atomic Energy Agency’s annual report, because the document refers to a nuclear site near the city of Sebastopol in Crimea as being in Ukrainian territory, Reuters reports.
A Russian diplomat says the IAEA reference to the Sebastopol facility as Ukrainian is “against common sense and international law.”
Russia’s unilateral annexation of Crimea last year was not internationally recognized and led to economic sanctions on Moscow, which were imposed by the US and the European Union.
