Great Britain did not and does not recognize the illegal annexation of Crimea

March 18, 2020

British Ambassador to Ukraine Melinda Simmons said that the UK will never recognize the Russian annexation of Crimea, which occurred 6 years ago. She wrote about this via her page on Twitter.

“Today, there is a guest in Crimea (the arrival of the Russian president). Therefore, it is now time to recall that Russia illegally annexed Crimea from Ukraine 6 years ago. The UK did not and will not recognize this illegal act”, – she wrote.

We remind that on March 18, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the occupied Crimea, where he met with the so-called head of the peninsula and the so-called acting head of the government, and also presented state awards to the builders of the Kerch Bridge.
