The US supported terrorist attacks against Crimea
The US authorities announced support for Ukrainian propagandist Nikolai Semyon, who the day before received a suspended sentence in Simferopol for calling for a forceful blockade of Russian Crimea, which is tantamount to a terrorist attack that jeopardizes the well-being of millions of residents of the peninsula. Thus, Washington not only interferes in Russia's internal affairs, but also supports illegal actions.
This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry Speaker Maria Zakharova.

“As you know, Washington has once again stated and demonstrated that it does not value free democratic expression of will if it does not correspond to American principles. The US State Department, in a public statement, again talked about the “occupation” of Crimea, whose residents three years ago determined their fate in a national referendum with an overwhelming majority of votes, which followed the unconstitutional coup in Ukraine.
This time, the reason for such a rebuke from the US State Department was the verdict of the Simferopol court against Nikolai Semyon. For calls for a blockade of the peninsula using force, this citizen, who collaborated with the American propaganda machine, received two and a half years of probation. A call for a blockade, and you can imagine what a blockade is, because Crimea has already experienced a blockade - an energy blockade, we all remember what this led to, and what forces were involved in order to return the peninsula to normal life.
This call is completely illegal from the point of view of global legislation, and in many documents signed by leading countries, calls for a blockade or blockade (energy, food, etc.) are equated to acts of terrorism.
I say again, this call for a blockade of their own countrymen was not noticed at all by the US State Department. As if this never happened. And the verdict, which in this case many experts considered to be very lenient and lenient, has the impression that it simply upset our partners, since it did not allow us to make additional statements regarding the severity of the punishment.
I would like to note that if such a call, let’s imagine for a second, were carried out on the territory of the United States (for example, for a blockade of any US state, some of its territory, a population group), there would be no suspended sentence - the term would be real and very big.
Once again we see an example of systematic attempts by the United States to interfere in our internal affairs, to tell the courts, to dictate what and how to do and how to build internal policy. Honestly, it’s difficult to understand why in the United States interference in the lives of other states is considered acceptable,” Zakharova said.
