“Traditionally, Ukraine protests, and we traditionally, these protests are not taken into account,” he said.
“The President visits the regions of the Russian Federation, which he considers necessary, is an internal affair of Russia, and this does not apply to any state, including Ukraine”, – said Putin’s press Secretary.
Recall that Putin arrived in the Crimea on the so-called “action Forum” in Yalta. This is his second visit to the occupied Peninsula in autumn: in September, the head of the Russian Federation together with the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev traveled to the bride of the Kerch bridge.
