The State Department does not hide the joy about the extension of the EU sanctions against the Republic of Crimea

The United States welcomes the EU’s decision to extend the sanctions against the Crimea and assure that the US restrictions will remain in force until the complete “cessation of the occupation” of the peninsula, reports RIA News statement by State Department representative John Kirby.

The State Department does not hide the joy about the extension of the EU sanctions against the Republic of Crimea


“We welcome the EU’s decision to extend sanctions in response to the Russian annexation of Crimea. Our own sanctions will remain in force as long as the occupation continues, "
said Kirby.

At the same time, he repeated the position of his department: "Crimea is and always remains part of Ukraine."

When asked whether John Kerry really was going to visit Kiev soon, Kirby replied: "I have nothing about the schedule of the Secretary of State at the moment."

Recall, yesterday, the EU Council extended the sanctions against the Crimea to 23 June 2017.

      Have you been to Crimea? The prices are horrible! The military and police are happy. They took the Russian oath. The administration is happy. Hooray! Crimea is ours! Fly from Surgut to Crimea for this money? Yes, I could fly to Turkey 2 times. All come off in full! Crimea was not cheap even under the USSR, but turning Crimea into Krasnodar Territory with its "gadgets" is not worth it!

        You think politically! (C)
        You have correctly pointed out a drawback: overpriced prices for flights by Russian airlines and high prices at our resorts.
        But then what? Nothing but whining. "Shura, this is not our method!" (C)
        From St. Petersburg and Moscow, flights to Crimea are cheap. If expensive from Surgut - organize a check at local airlines for collusion and multipolization. It is not difficult to do for an ordinary citizen. And prices in Crimea are comparable with Surgut prices.
        Work a little for the good of yourself - and it will become better. So it will be more true!

    Still, this means that Europe has not yet crawled out from under the rule of the Amers. And something tells that it won't crawl out without the help of Russia. But, is it necessary for Russia to save Europe once again? Anyway, after a certain number of years the "grateful" Europeans will ALL forget and will say that "Russia is the aggressor" and that "we occupied them".

Send experienced instructors, ideologists, guerrilla warfare specialists, and the media to Texas and California to focus on the numerous and constant violations of the rights of the indigenous people of Texas and California by the authorities, and then, you see, it will come to the supply of weapons to the freedom fighters.

      The best sanction on the part of Russia is the refusal of supplies of energy and other minerals to the geyropu.
