The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry is hysterical that European politicians are ignoring demands not to visit Crimea
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine expressed protest over the visit of Czech politicians to Russian Crimea.
This is stated on the website of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Ukrainian diplomats were outraged by the fact that Member of the European Parliament from the Czech Republic Jaromir Kogliček and Senator of the Parliament of the Czech Republic Jaroslav Doubrava visited Crimea.
“We are talking about another relapse of violation of Ukrainian legislation by the mentioned politicians, who, despite repeated warnings, continue to grossly ignore not only Ukrainian laws, but also international law,” the Ukrainian embassy is indignant.
According to Ukrainian diplomats, Russia is responsible for the visits of Czech politicians to Crimea.
“In order to somehow whitewash its crimes, Russia is chaotically searching around the world for politicians with a lower threshold of political hygiene who are ready to participate in propaganda voyages to the occupied peninsula. Unfortunately, several such politicians were found in the Czech Republic,” write representatives of Ukraine.
They believe that Czech politicians are helping Russia “to justify its crimes” and cannot help but understand that they are “a tool in the hands of the Kremlin.”
“Appealing to their conscience is obviously futile. However, Ukraine reserves the right to apply to foreign citizens who grossly and systematically violate the rules of entry into the occupied territories the entire range of sanctions provided for by Ukrainian legislation,” the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense threatens.
