The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on the eve announced the visit of the inspection team from the United States to the Crimea to monitor the military and political situation in accordance with the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. "On November 13, the US multinational inspection team arrives in Ukraine, which will include representatives of Denmark and Canada. The American side included the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in the inspection area, "the ministry said..

Deputy Prime Minister of the Crimean government Dmitry Polonsky called this "another sick fantasy of Ukrainian military officials who are so great and independent that in principle they do not depend on anything in their country, let alone beyond it".

Foreign military inspections can visit the Crimea only at the invitation of Russia, Polonsky stressed, adding that attempts to freely dispose of foreign territories so freely, "by and large, cause not only bewilderment, but also laughter".

Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee for Nationalities Ruslan Balbek ironically suggested how Kiev can organize a visit of American inspectors to the Russian peninsula.

"Without a Russian visa, US inspectors can only air kiss through the Crimean border to send. However, the Ukrainian side can send colleagues from the United States a trip to the Crimea in the format of virtual modeling or on maps, "the parliamentarian said in an interview with RT.
