"Putin's visit to the Ukrainian Crimea without the Ukrainian authorities' consent is a challenge to the civilized world and the continuation of the scenario of the aggravation of the situation that is being played by the Russian troops and their mercenaries in Donbas," Poroshenko wrote on Facebook.
"Such visits mean a further militarization of the occupied Ukrainian peninsula and lead to its greater isolation. Only being part of Ukraine, Crimea has a future, including in the tourist sector," the president wrote.
On August 17, Putin was reported to hold a meeting on the "development of tourism in the Russian Federation" in Crimea, which was occupied on his direct order. After the meeting, he is scheduled to meet with representatives of the "national public associations of the Republic of Crimea."

Putin Should Coordinate His Crimea Trips With Kiev - Poroshenko...
ReplyDeleteRussian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Crimea without coordination with Kiev is "a challenge to the entire civilized world", Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko claimed.
Russian President Vladimir Putin should have coordinated his Crimean visit today with the Ukrainian authorities, President Petro Poroshenko claimed.
"Putin’s visit to Ukrainian Crimea without any agreement with the Ukrainian government is a challenge for the entire civilized world," Poroshenko wrote on his Facebook page.
Nevertheless, the Ukrainian president did not bother to explain why the Russian president should have authorization from Ukraine to visit one of the regions in his country.
On Monday, Putin arrived to Crimea to take part in a Russian State Council meeting on tourism.
The Republic of Crimea reunited with Russia in March 2014, following a referendum when most of its resident said yes to joining Russia. Ukraine and many Western countries have not recognized the vote.
