Earlier, at a briefing, UN Secretary-General António Guterres denied the possibility of applying the principle of "self-determination" to Crimea and Donbas.
"There are two principles that are important. One principle is the territorial integrity of states. The other principle is the self-determination of peoples. But the self-determination of peoples has a number of preconditions. So, as it is defined as a number of preconditions, and after a very careful study by our legal affairs department, our position is that the principle of self-determination does not apply in the situations of Crimea and Donbas. So, in this situation, the principle of the territorial integrity of Ukraine prevails," Guterres said.
