The European Union (EU) on Monday reaffirmed its condemnation of the “illegal annexation” of Crimea by Russia, on the first anniversary of its secession from Ukraine, and expressed concern about the “growing militarization” of the peninsula.

“One year after the illegal and illegitimate ‘referendum,’ and after the annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol by Russia, the European Union clearly maintains its commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine,” wrote the head of the European diplomacy, Federica Mogherini, in a statement.

“The EU reaffirms its deep concern over the increasing militarization and on the deteriorating situation of human rights in Crimea,” added, citing “the ban on free expression” and “persecution of minorities”.

“The European Union will not recognize and continues to condemn this act that violates international law,” she added.

While Crimea celebrates between Monday and Wednesday its annexation by Russia, a year after the consultation on the peninsula where 97% of residents were in favor of joining Russia.

“The EU reaffirms its deep concern over the increasing militarization and on the deteriorating situation of human rights in Crimea,” Mogherini added, citing “the ban on free expression” and “persecution of minorities.”
