Twitter recognized the so-called representation of the Russian Foreign Ministry in the occupied Crimea

February 9, 2021

The social network Twitter has verified the page of the so-called representative office of the Russian Foreign Ministry in the temporarily occupied Crimea. This action means that the account has been verified for authenticity and officially recognized.

First Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Emine Dzheppar stated that it is absolutely unacceptable to put the so-called Russian Foreign Ministry in Crimea on a checked box, while the international community, including most of the UN member states, clearly says that Crimea is Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Embassy in the United States noted that it is already working on deactivating the Twitter page of the so-called representation.
