On Friday, the delegation is scheduled to visit the peninsula's regional capital Simferopol, the port of Sevastopol and the resort city of Yalta. "It is with deep concern and indignation that I learned of your decision to visit, as head of the French delegation, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea which is temporarily occupied by Russia," Ukrainian ambassador Oleg Shamshur wrote to Mariani in a letter published Friday. "Ewps." "You did not even inform the Ukrainian side, deciding to enter illegally from Moscow," he said, warning the MPs against the information they get during the visit. |
