Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the UN Volodymyr Yelchenko has called the ruling of the Russian Supreme Court upholding a ban on the Crimean Tatar Mejlis in Russia as an extremist organization as "worthless."

"A worthless court, a worthless decision," Yelchenko wrote on his Twitter page on Thursday.

As reported, on Thursday, September 29, the Russian Supreme Court issued a final ruling upholding a ban on the Crimean Tatar Mejlis in Russia as an extremist organization. The court thus rejected an appeal from Mejlis representatives.
