Volletnia, Fristehen, New Masovia Issue Joint Statement Regarding Ukraine Crisis

In the wake of recent developements of the Ukraine Crisis, a group of three micronations has issued a joint statement today, condemning the actions taken this week by the Russian Federation.  The Kingdom of Volletnia, The Kingdom of Fristehen, and the Principality of New Masovia today signed their names to a brief but scathing rebuke of the Russian Federation's actions.  In the statement, the three micronations called out Russia's recognition of the two separatist regions of Doneskt and Luhansk as independent states as, "a clear violation of Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty, and are a violation of international law."  The statement went on to call for an immediate cease to hostilities and called upon Russia to withdraw its forces.

Other micronations have voiced solitary for the people of Ukraine in recent weeks, including the Principality of Vurmond, the Dominion of Vancouver Island, and the Empire of Guanduania, but it is rare for a block of micronations of any size to take a stand on a macronational level.  Fristehen and New Masovia are both allied with Volletnia, and it was HRH Queen Lorraine II of Volletnia herself who spearheaded this effort.  The joint statement was ratified earlier today and was posted across numerous social media outlets.

The entire text of the joint statement follows:

On February 21, 2022, Russian President Vladmir Putin signed a decree, recognizing the independence of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. Following this, President Putin ordered Russian military forces into the region, outside the borders of Russia.

These actions represent a clear violation of Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty, and are a violation of international law. We the undersigned, denounce these actions in the strongest terms possible, and call upon the Russian Federation to cease all hostilities, to withdraw its troops from Ukrainian sovereign territory and from the border regions of Ukraine, and to return to the negotiating table in order to find a diplomatic solution to this crisis.
