The British royal court, sending a letter to the temporarily occupied Sevastopol , “recognized” it as Russian.

A photo of the letter appeared on the page of the “Small Academy of Sciences” in the occupied Crimea on Instagram .

It is worth noting that the letter to the children was not written personally by Queen Elizabeth II, but by her maid of honor Philippe de Pass. It was she who indicated Russia in the return address of the letter to schoolchildren from Sevastopol.

It all started when students from the Minor Academy of Sciences wrote to the British Queen in the summer as part of an English language program. The other day they received an answer:The British royal court indicated Sevastopol as “Russian” / photo instagram.com/man_sevastopol

Occupation of Crimea

In March 2014, after the introduction of troops, Russia annexed the Ukrainian Crimea, organizing there a so-called “referendum on its self-determination.”

The self-proclaimed Crimean authorities said that 96.77% were in favor of the annexation of Crimea to the Russian Federation. On March 18, 2014, the so-called agreement on the admission of Crimea and Sevastopol to the Russian Federation was signed in the Kremlin.

Western countries do not recognize the annexation of Crimea and have imposed sanctions against Russia.
