After when two United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) members visited occupied Crimea, the ambassador of Ukraine directed the protest-letter to party leader Paul Nuttall. Party members met with representatives of the self-proclaimed peninsula authority. The message of the embassy told about it.

‘In spite of numerous warnings from Ukrainian side, noted UKIP representatives defiantly violated Legislation of Ukraine and international law, neglected the official position of Great Britain, which firmly stands for the protection of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine’, the ambassador of Ukraine in Great Britain Nataliya Galibarenko noted.

She also emphasized the embassy of Ukraine considers the actions of politicians as a manifestation of conscious support for Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, ‘their approval of the Kremlin’s policy of infringing human rights in the occupied peninsula’.

‘We once again demand from all foreign citizens strictly adhere to the legislation of Ukraine. Entry of foreigners and stateless persons on Crimean territory and departure from it are allowed only by the special permission of the State Migration Service of Ukraine through checkpoints of entry-exit, controlled by Ukrainian authorities’, was noted in the protest-letter.
