I regret that separatist armed gangs who purport to be \u201cpeaceful activists\u201d sought to deny the citizens of Donetsk and Luhansk their right to vote. I pay tribute to the election commission staff who were subjected to appalling levels of intimidation in those regions but strove to do their duty. I also praise citizens in eastern Ukraine who overcame all obstacles to vote or who tried to do so. Each vote cast was an individual act of courage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UK, like the vast majority of the international community, is firmly committed to the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine. That is why we will not recognise Russia\u2019s illegal annexation of Crimea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Ukrainians have sent a decisive signal of their support for reform and a new future for their country. We look forward to working with the new President on ambitious reforms that can meet the aspirations of the people of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"last-child\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5525\" src=\"https:\/\/the-news.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ukraine-pic-570x328.jpg\" alt=\"Ukraine pic\" width=\"570\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-news.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ukraine-pic-570x328.jpg 570w, https:\/\/the-news.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ukraine-pic-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the-news.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ukraine-pic.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">photo credit Unian<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"position: absolute; overflow: hidden; width: 2px; height: 1px; left: -288; top: -277; z-index: 177;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.top-anabolic-steroids.com\/brands\/bayer-schering-pharma\">buy steroids bayer schering pharma<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rt Hon William Hague MP Speaking about yesterday&#8217;s elections, he said: I congratulate the Ukrainian people for showing their determination to vote in today\u2019s historic presidential elections.
