MFA of Ukraine declares that Ukraine does not recognize the legitimacy of the so-called "parliamentary elections" held in South Ossetia on June 8, 2014.

MFA of Ukraine confirms the invariability of Ukraine’s position regarding the territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders as well as non-recognition of independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

Ukraine supports peaceful settlement of the conflict in Georgia on the basis of principles and norms of international law.

Respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia within internationally recognized borders is a determining factor in this process.
