Russian President Vladimir Putin has appeared on stage during a concert marking the seventh anniversary of Crimea annexation, despite strong condemnation of the ‘occupation’ by the Group of Seven.
The foreign ministers of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the U.S. today issued a strong condemnation of what it called Russia’s ongoing ‘occupation’ of the Crimean Peninsula, seven years after Moscow annexed it from Ukraine.
Tens of thousands of people gathered at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow today to watch a patriotic concert called ‘The days of Crimea’.
