“Absurd”: Russia’s response to Poland’s revision of Crimea status

Moscow, Sep 20 (Prensa Latina) The Polish Foreign Ministry's proposal to place Crimea under the UN mandate for a second referendum in 20 years is absurd, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Friday.

We think that this is a rather absurd statement, as Russian territory and regions cannot be the subject of any discussion or transfer to anyone, the spokesman told reporters.

Earlier, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski came up with the idea at a meeting in Kiev.

Vladimir Konstantinov, head of the Russian regional parliament, responded to the diplomat with a counter-proposal to place Poland itself under the UN mandate, emphasizing the inseparability of Crimea from Russia.

Crimea and Sevastopol returned to Russia in March 2014, after rejecting Ukraine’s coup d’etat a month earlier.
