On March 27, 2014 the Ambassador of Ukraine to the Kingdom of Norway Yurii Onischenko met with the Head of the Norwegian Parliamentary Delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly Øyvind Halleraker (The Conservative Party) and the Head of the Norwegian Parliamentary Delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Geir Jørgen Bekkevold (The Christian Democratic Party) as well as with some Deputy Members of both above-mentioned delegations. The Ambassador provided his interlocutors with profound information about the situation in Ukraine, in particular about the recent events in Crimea, and emphasized that Ukraine will never recognize the annexation of that part of its territory and demands that Russia withdraw its troops from the peninsula, set free the kidnapped Ukrainian military and civil activists and begin a real dialogue aimed at resolving the conflict.
