Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said that at his meetings in Brussels, Belgium, he raises the issue of crimes of the Russian authorities in the occupied Crimea, where on Thursday after police searches a 82-year-old Crimean Tatar woman died.

"Today, 82-year-old Vedzhiye Kashka, a veteran of the Crimean Tatar movement, died by the hand of Russian invaders in Crimea. The invaders tried to arrest the elderly woman but her heart failed," Klimkin wrote on his Twitter account on Thursday.

The minister noted that he is currently in Brussels, and "the issue of arrests and other crimes of the Russian occupation regime in Crimea is raised at each meeting."

"Russia must get out of Ukraine and stop this lawlessness! We and the entire civilized world are working to achieve this," Klimkin stressed.
