ANKARA (AA) - The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on Thursday condemned the Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine.

In a statement, OECD said it “condemns the large scale aggression by Russia against Ukraine in the strongest possible terms as a clear violation of international law and a serious threat to the rules-based international order.”

"We stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people," the statement said.

"The OECD Council is reconsidering all cooperation with Russia as a matter of urgency and is assessing the economic and social repercussions," it added.

Russia on early Thursday launched a military operation against Ukraine, drawing international condemnation and announcements of tougher sanctions on Moscow.
