The UN General Assembly has once again adopted a resolution calling on Russia to immediately, completely and unconditionally end its occupation of Crimea.
63 countries voted for the resolution, 17 opposed and 62 abstained.
The document condemns "the continuing temporary occupation by the Russian Federation of a part of the territory of Ukraine, namely the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol", and confirms the non-recognition of its annexation.
The text expresses concern about the progressive militarization of Crimea and the continuing destabilization of the situation in Crimea due to the supply of modern weapons systems from the Russian Federation.

The document also states that the occupation of Crimea harms the architecture of international security and the arms control regime.
The resolution "urges the Russian Federation as the occupying power to immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw its armed forces from Crimea and immediately end the temporary occupation of the territory of Ukraine."
The document also calls on Russia to refrain from preparing Crimean children for military service in the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation and to stop involving Crimean educational institutions in the Russian system of "military-patriotic" education.
