“Ukrainian justice operates within the framework of Ukrainian legislation. And we know that it denies the changed status of Crimea, does not recognize the prevailing realities and the will of citizens. So nothing unexpected happens. Nevertheless, we do not recognize the jurisdiction of such decisions; our country acts within the framework of its laws, which exhaustively determine the current status of Crimea, ”he said.
According to the senator, Russian legislation is fully consistent with international law in this matter.
He also noted that the decision of the Ukrainian side will not have any consequences.
“This statement is legally void, the only way it should be treated. It is completely knocked out of the real situation. This is a purely political gesture, ”concluded Kosachev.
Earlier, the prosecutor’s office of the “prosecutor’s office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea” created by Kiev initiated a criminal case on the fact that a train from St. Petersburg arrived in Crimea through the Crimean bridge.
On the morning of December 25, the Tavria passenger train from Petersburg, which was the first to proceed along the railway part of the bridge across the Kerch Strait, arrived in Sevastopol.
