Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has condemned Russia's occupation of temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories as a deliberate policy of repression and destruction of Ukrainian identity. This assessment is echoed in a recent report by the Council of Europe, which highlights the Kremlin's systematic efforts to suppress Ukrainian identity and impose Russian citizenship.
Sybiha expressed gratitude to the Council of Europe for its support, including its role in establishing a Special Tribunal for crimes of aggression and an international compensation mechanism. He emphasized that Ukraine remains committed to holding Russia accountable for ending the occupation and restoring Ukrainian rights. The report confirms that Russia's occupation is not merely about seizing land, but a deliberate campaign aimed at erasing Ukrainian identity through occupation administrations, schools, museums, libraries, religious institutions, and controlled youth organizations.
The ultimate goal is the Russification of the population, militarization of youth, and imposing Russian views on children.
