Travels by Russian officials to the occupied Crimea are an unacceptable violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine has stated.
"The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine is right: Recent travel by Russian officials to occupied Crimea was an unacceptable violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. We stand with the people of Ukraine in opposition to Russian aggression. Crimea is Ukraine," the embassy wrote on Twitter.
