Attempts by Ukraine to inspect the territory of the Crimea are vain and provocative. This Saturday, April 29, the Russian Foreign Ministry said, commenting on the report of the US State Department on compliance by States with agreements in the field of arms control. "The current status of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol as subjects of the Russian Federation is a matter of solution. It is not subject to revision. Accordingly, Russia is free to deploy any of its troops and military equipment on its own territory, "the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said..
Thus, the Foreign Ministry commented on compliance with the Vienna Document 2011 on Confidence- and Security-Building Measures. Crimea joined the Russian Federation in the spring of 2014 following the results of the referendum. Kiev refused to recognize the result of the plebiscite. Moscow points out that the procedure fully complied with international law and emphasizes that the question of the status of the peninsula is closed.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia named in vain the attempts of Ukraine to inspect the Crimea.
