“Everyone who wants to come to Crimea comes: both tourists and foreign politicians, but in accordance with the Russian rules for visiting the peninsula.

Nobody will come here on Ukrainian terms ... So this pretentious statement is inherently ineffectual, "Balbek said.

The parliamentarian also added that Kuleba distorted information about the situation in Crimea in his statement.

“No matter how sophisticated Ukrainian diplomats are in literature, this will not affect the rules of visiting the peninsula.

If various monitoring and humanitarian missions really want to get acquainted with life in Crimea, then no one will interfere with them, ”the deputy stressed.

Earlier, Kuleba, during an informal meeting of the UN Security Council on Crimea, called on Russia "to take a non-politicized position on the issue of access to Crimea and to provide full access in accordance with international law."

Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which most residents voted in favor of reunification with Russia.
