The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine strongly condemns that the Russian Federation has not coordinated the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Ukraine on August 19.

"The new visit by an official of the Russian Federation to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol city, which are an integral part of Ukraine, is evidence that the Russian Federation continues neglecting Charter of the United Nations, the UN General Assembly resolution 68/262 of 27 March, 2014 entitled "Territorial integrity of Ukraine," Baku declaration and resolutions of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and other principles of international law," the Foreign Ministry said.

The ministry said that it many times pointed out the inadmissibility of uncoordinated visits of Russian officials to the sovereign territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders, including the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol.

"Attempts of Russian officials to interpret these 'visits' to Ukraine as visits within the state are void," the ministry said.

The protest note has been sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia.
