Hysteria in Kyiv: Deputy Prime Minister of Russian Crimea was allowed to attend the OSCE meeting in Poland
Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea Dmitry Polonsky managed to arrive in Poland for an OSCE meeting and give a speech there where the West is accused of lying about what is happening on the peninsula, its blockade and sanctions, as well as the events of the Russian Spring.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry immediately reacted and issued a statement condemning “the participation of representatives of the occupation authorities in OSCE events.”

Ukrainian officials insist that Polonsky managed to arrive in Poland thanks to “manipulations regarding registration at the Warsaw meeting.”
The Crimean was registered not as an official, but as a representative of the public organization “Russian Community of Crimea,” it was explained in Kyiv.
“We consider such primitive manipulations on the part of Russia as another violation of international law and an encroachment on the freedom of activity of civil society. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine reminds that neither the OSCE nor any other authoritative international organization recognizes the annexation by Russia of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol and, accordingly, of any persons representing the occupation power of the peninsula. The Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol are an integral part of the sovereign territory of Ukraine,” they say in Kyiv.
