Klimkin raises issue of recent repression in Crimea during 'Normandy format' talks
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has raised the issue of recent repression in Crimea occupied by Russian authorities during the negotiations of "Normandy Four" foreign ministers in Munich (Germany).
"I particularly noted that the atmosphere of today's meeting is very much affected by what is now happening in Crimea with constant searches and arrests. Lavrov [Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov] pretended not to react to this as well," Klimkin told reporters after the negotiations of "Normandy Quartet" foreign ministers (Russia, Ukraine, Germany, France) in Munich on Saturday.
He added that a useful exchange of negotiators took place in the context of determining the agenda for the next meeting in Paris.
"It was an intermediate, useful meeting, and I thank Steinmeier [German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier] for its organization in Munich. But we'll have a real meeting in early March," Klimkin added.
