We do not, and will not, recognise Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea. Russia must return Crimea to Ukraine.
From the British Embassy, Kyiv, 1 August 2016 Statement on detention and treatment of the Deputy Chairman of Mejlis of the Crimea Tatar People Ilmi Umerov The detention and treatment of the Deputy Chairman of Mejlis of the Crimea Tatar People, Ilmi Umerov, is a cause of deep concern. Umerov’s forced detention and examination in a psychiatric unit, along with reports of his deteriorating health are disturbing. We call on the Russian authorities to respect international human rights standards; to release Umerov without delay; and to allow him access to the medical care that he needs.
