Borys Babin in his report emphasized legal and political consequences of the continued occupation of Crimea by paying attention at the spillover effects of the Russian aggression on the humanitarian, economic and ecological processes in the Black Sea region. The experts were particularly interested in the aspects of militarization of Crimea and maritime areas surrounding the peninsula by Russia and therefore practical implementation of sanctions against the state-aggressor.
