The US state Department is issuing a statement on the 80th anniversary of the Welles Declaration, which condemned the Soviet invasion and annexation of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.

The document notes that America will never accept Russia's attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia and Ukraine.

"The Welles Declaration is not just a historical artifact. The United States of America will never recognize the illegal forcible annexation of the Baltic States by the Soviet Union and will not accept Russia's attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia and Ukraine, which it is trying to carry out by annexing Crimea, trying to destabilize the Eastern regions of Ukraine, and by occupying Abkhazia and South Ossetia," the State Department said in a statement.

Georgian foreign Minister David Zalkaliani welcomed the state Department's statement on the Welles Declaration, which States that the occupation of Georgian territories is unacceptable.

According to Zalkaliani, "this is another clear expression of support from the us Executive branch, which is supported by concrete actions and legislative acts of the US government."
