\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Ambassadors of the Ukraine expressed their appreciation for the meeting, pointing out that even at this late hour, it is necessary for Russia\u2019s President Vladimir Putin to realize that the world community would be very distressed over any military action in Ukraine.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Oksana Markarova, the Ukraine Ambassador to the US, stressed that \u201cUkraine has been an independent country for centuries and has always resisted its annexation by force by the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and Russia\u201d. She said that the Ukraine is committed to resisting any incursions into its territory, and its people are \u201cprepared to defend its territorial integrity\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Sanders acknowledged that the Ukraine is \u201cthe breadbasket for many countries in Europe and the Middle East, and that military conflict would disrupt the supply chain of food, causing shortages and increasing food prices globally. \u00a0He also stated that the Caribbean region would be very concerned about any military activity that leads to a disruption in oil supplies and an escalation in cost of oil and gas.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Ukrainian ambassador to the United Nations. Sergiy Kyslytsia, thanked CARICOM countries for their defense of the principles of self-determination, sovereignty and territorial integrity that are shared by CARICOM and Ukraine.<\/p>\n
