The Crimean Tatar Resource Center has prepared letters addressed to the President of Ukraine, the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Chairman of the National Bank of Ukraine with a call to apply sanctions to more than two hundred citizens of the Russian Federation, as well as of some other states that have conducted concert or other public activities on territories temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation, namely the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, or visited the peninsula privately in violation of Ukrainian legislation.
Among the list of artists in respect of whom the CTRC asks to impose sanctions are Basta (Vasily Vakulenko), Irina Krug (Irina Vorobyova), as well as Mikhail Shufutinsky, who visited the occupied Crimea several times, which is confirmed on the official Facebook page of the organizers of the concerts of Russian and European performers in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
So, the concert of Shufutinsky is scheduled for March 8, 2022 at the Kyiv Palace of Sports, Basta – for December 19, 2021 at the capital's night club Stereo Plaza.
We remind that this autumn, the Crimean Tatar Resource Center has already turned to the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Bakanov with a request to check the information on the visit of Russian singers Yolka, Basta and Irina Krug to Crimea and to prohibit them from entering Ukraine. However, the department did not find grounds for a ban on visiting the controlled territories of our state.
