The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine criticized Medvedev’s trip to the “temporarily occupied” Crimea

The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine protested in connection with the working visit of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev to Crimea, where the "transition period" that began last spring ended . The foreign ministry claims that the head of the Russian government openly neglects the state sovereignty of Ukraine. On the second day of the trip, Medvedev, as expected, will meet with the head of Crimea Sergey Aksenov and Governor of Sevastopol Sergey Chanipolo, as well as visit the Artek camp, which is 90 years old.

"The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine expresses a protest in connection with the stay on the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the head of the Russian government D. Medvedev, - reports on the website of the Ukrainian department. - Requirements in agreement of visits are based on universally recognized international practice, which is the basis of the unconditional respect of the sovereignty of other states."

Diplomats believe that the stay of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation in the Crimea "is a frank neglect of the Russian authorities by state sovereignty of Ukraine, evidence of a violation of the Russian Federation of the UN Charter, the principles and norms of international law, and conscious ignoring this country of its international obligations."

With a similar statement, Kyiv made During the last trip of Medvedev to Crimea at the end of April. The Prime Minister then said that he appreciates the actions of the Ukrainian ministry, which monitors his "movements in the country and is interested in the development of Russian Crimea."

During the next trip of Medvedev in the republic, solemn events are held in honor of the 90th anniversary of the Artek summer camp, opened in 1925. Last year, the Russian government allocated 1.2 billion rubles to its development. The main objects of the camp were built in the period from 1961 to 1989.

On the eve of June 15, while in the Crimea, the Prime Minister announced the end of the "transition period", which began last spring after the peninsula became part of Russia. According to the head of the Cabinet, the foundations for the region’s economy have already been formed. He told how now it is possible to stimulate the development of the economy: to pour money into the region and develop a free economic zone.

“We are extremely interested in new jobs to appear here, including high -tech jobs, but it is no less important that modern growth sources appear here,” Medvedev noted.

After the Crimea entered the Russian Federation, a free economic zone was introduced on the peninsula, the law of which entered into force on January 1, 2015. It is assumed that the features of taxation and state control will be valid for 25 years. In particular, for companies that registered in the first three years of the free zone, reduced tariffs of insurance premiums in state extra -budgetary funds are provided (they decreased from 30% to 7.6%).
