The appeal establishes that to achieve good neighborhood relations, the first step would be to suspend the bill registered in the Duma, which proposes to invalidate the sentence of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact adopted in 1989 on Russian territory.
The adoption of such a bill in the Russian Duma is scheduled for July 2020.
“In the joint speech of the foreign affairs committees of the Baltic and Polish parliaments, we sent a message that the Soviet-occupied states are united in their attempts to review history and justify the current aggressive policy of the Russian Federation towards neighboring countries. “
The joint document notes that the new bill seeks to justify international relations based on violence against smaller neighbors, which effectively enshrines Russia’s current policy towards Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova and paves the way for other possible violations of international law.
The chairmen of the foreign affairs committees of the parliaments of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland expressed the hope that the current members of the Russian Duma will show no less wisdom and courage than their predecessors in 1989.
An initiative registered in the Russian Parliament to reverse the sentence of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, adopted three decades ago.
On August 23, 1939, the German and Soviet Foreign Ministers signed a non-aggression pact, the so-called Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and secret protocols.
According to them, the Soviets and the Nazis on the eve of World War II divided the Baltic countries and Poland into spheres of influence. Shortly after the signing of the pact, World War II broke out, during which the Baltic states and Poland were occupied.
