Saxophonist from Crimea who received a Russian passport after the annexation denied entry to Japan
Because Japan does not recognize the annexation.
Saxophonist Veronika Kozhukharova from Crimea, who received a Russian passport after the occupation of the peninsula, was denied entry to Japan to perform a concert. Her colleague reported this on Facebook.
The Japanese Embassy in Moscow insists that the girl obtain a Ukrainian visa, since Japan does not recognize the annexation of Crimea. All Crimeans who received a Russian passport after 2014 are being denied entry.
Also today, the Embassy of Ukraine called on The New York Times to correct the map of the country without Crimea.
