Zelensky has identified a circle of people who are allowed an “illegal visit to Crimea” – lawyer
The ban on entry into Ukraine for the Russian blogger Alexandra Mitroshina, who visited Crimea in 2017, indicates that the current government continues Poroshenko’s policies.
Lawyer Elena Lukash stated this in a conversation on the NEWSONE TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
At the same time, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky helped circumvent the entry ban for the Swedish singer Dr. Alban, who previously performed in Crimea.
Thus, for Europeans or Americans who are pleasing to the new government, visiting Crimea bypassing Ukrainian legislation is not prohibited.
“Nothing has changed. I see Poroshenko’s consistent policy, which Zelensky continues. Nothing has changed, complete selectivity: Zelensky needs Doctor Alban, Doctor Alban sings well, he gathers spectators for the “95th Quarter” concert, Zelensky receives dividends from the work of “95th Quarter” and declares them. Doctor Alban flew to Crimea, bypassing the border of Ukraine - no big deal. Doctor Alban arrives in Kyiv.
But Mitroshina or Khakamada, or other people? One principle of application of legislation applies to them... for those who are important to the Ukrainian authorities, another principle of application of legislation applies. But the legislation is the same.
And people see all this. They see that we have the principle of “friend or foe”, that there is no law and there are no equals before the law. This, accordingly, shapes our legal consciousness and it will all end with what we see every evening on the streets - lynchings, explosions, showdowns. The fish rots, in this case, from the head.
I am very sorry that the new government has not resolved the issue with all these blockades, entry bans, trade blockades, website restrictions and other heresies that still exist.
Why can’t you fly to Moscow, but can you travel by train? Well, what could be more stupid than this situation? However, in this case, nothing has changed,” the lawyer concluded.
