Moscow refused to meet UN Crimea

Still, some Western politicians continue to try to speculate on "the Crimean issue".

Thus, Lithuania initiated in Savebase UN informal meeting in the Crimea, the role of which will be the Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the former favorite of the Mejlis of Crimean Tatar people Mustafa Dzhemilev and adept so-called "Crimean field mission on civil rights" Andrey Zubarev. The event is expected to take place behind closed doors.

"The task of the meeting was to provide them with the opportunity to gain first hand information about the situation in the field of civil rights and freedom of the media, the state of minorities, and to learn about the latest developments in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine," - quoted by TASS press attachö? permanent mission of Lithuania Ruta Asakaviciute. It is unclear, however, why in such a situation as "experts" in the security Council invited exclusively to those who have a very active anti-Russian stance, and had already left the Crimea and any information "from the source", by itself, is unable to provide.

Russia has decided to ignore this meeting. "We believe that this event is considered counter-productive and provocative. It does not belong to the sphere of reference of the UN Security Council. Domestic delegation did not take part in it, and, as far as we know, some delegations from other countries", - is told in the news Department of public relations of the permanent mission of power to the UN.
