Ukraine bans Berlusconi over Crimea visit

Ex-premier 'temporarily occupied territory' without approval

Ukraine's National Security Council on Thursday decided to ban ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi from the country for three years after he visited Crimea with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Friday, Russian news agency Interfax reported Thursday. The visit was made without Kiev's agreement, according to Interfax. Ukraine Monday condemned the visit because it broke Ukrainian norms on entry into "temporarily occupied territory" and because Berlusconi's visit "also contradicts EU policy" on the Crimea peninsula, which Moscow annexed last year. Berlusconi met his old friend Putin at Sevastopol and laid a wreath at a monument for Italian dead in the Crimean War.
    The leader of the centre-right Forza Italia (FI) party was the first former European premier to visit Crimea since Moscow's annexation, which sparked the first package of western sanctions against Russia and created a new cold war climate.
    Previously the only leading western politician to set foot in Crimea were, in October, Matteo Salvini, leader of the anti-euro, anti-immigrant Northern League, and, in July, former French transport minister Thierry Mariani.
    The latter and his delegation ended up on Kiev's blacklist and were banned from Ukraine for three years.
