Earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Lithuania reported that, at the request of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from January 19, the migration service included Kirkorov on the list of undesirable persons for a period of five years.
The Foreign Ministry explained its request by the fact that the artist during his visits to Crimea "deliberately denied the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine."
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova expressed regret that Lithuanian politicians are using culture in anti-Russian propaganda.
