Chinese bloggers arrived in Mariupol: Ukraine's Foreign Ministry considers entry ban for all "tourers" from China

A group of Chinese bloggers illegally arrived in the temporarily occupied city of Mariupol. Now, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is considering imposing a ban on entry to Ukraine for all "touring" Chinese bloggers. This was reported by the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleg Nikolenko on his Facebook page.





"According to available information, a group of Chinese bloggers arrived in the temporarily occupied city (Mariupol - ed.). Their arrival is illegal. It grossly violates the legislation of Ukraine that regulates the crossing of the state border by foreigners," Nikolenko said.


He also emphasized that Ukraine respects the territorial integrity of China and expects the Chinese side to explain the purpose of the Chinese citizens' stay in Mariupol and how they got to this temporarily occupied Ukrainian city.


Nikolenko published a video of a Chinese "opera singer" Wang-Fang, who performs the song "Katyusha" on the ruins of the drama theater in Mariupol, where the Russian army committed a large-scale terrorist attack that killed more than 600 innocent people.
