St. Petersburg - Russian Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky said he considers the idea to ban 500 Russian culture figures from entering Ukraine to be a private opinion.
“It’s currently a private opinion of a Ukrainian official. I hope
Ukraine has not gone mad to realize such surrealistic ideas,” Medinsky
told reporters in St. Petersburg on Monday, Aug. 4.
The Ukrainian interior minister’s adviser Anton Heraschenko said
earlier on Monday that Kyiv is making a list of Russian culture figures
who will be denied entry in Ukraine for supporting Russia’s annexation
of Crimea.
