This was announced during a briefing by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova.
“This week, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs returned two notes to colleagues, namely the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry. In the first, Kiev protested in connection with archaeological excavations and earthworks in the Crimea. In the second, he demanded a report on measures taken by Russia in the fight against coronavirus in the Crimea and Donbass, ”she said.
According to her, at a time when a pandemic was raging in the country, and fires were raging in Chernobyl, when Russian planes were transporting Ukrainian citizens from third countries, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry was sending all its forces to the “bombing” of Russia with “formidable notes of protest.”
“All these papers, malicious notes, will be returned to the Ukrainian side due to the lack of grounds for their consideration,” she said.
In March, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry expressed a "strong protest" in connection with the arrival of Russian President Vladimir Putin on a working visit to Crimea.
