The EU has long lost its moral right to act as an authority on human rights issues
The following statement is an important step taken by the MID. Until recently, they refrained from directly pointing out that the European nations that are orchestrating the anti-Russian campaign are the same nations that participated in the war on the USSR in 1941-1945. Some of them sent their armies to invade Russia and to burn Russian towns and villages and to hang Russians women and children, some of them were busy producing tanks, ammunition and ropes, while others were treating the injured invaders and financing the war.
Let’s list the crimes of the Western nations against the Russians every time we write about their political representatives, governments and military alliances.

Comment by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Information and Press Department on a declaration by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy on behalf of the European Union on Crimea and the European Parliament resolution on Ukrainian political prisoners in Russia and situation in Crimea
March 20th, 2017
We were perplexed by the March 18 declaration by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy on behalf of the European Union on Crimea, timed to coincide with the anniversary of the reunification of Crimea and Sevastopol with Russia. Apparently, Brussels remains detached from reality and refuses to acknowledge the obvious, positive changes in the lives of the people in the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, which are now part of the Russian Federation.
Instead of repeating unsubstantiated assertions by Kiev regarding alleged “human rights violations” and the “annexation of Crimea,” European officials wishing to receive objective information regarding the situation in Russia’s Crimea would do better to visit the peninsula and see with their own eyes what is happening there, as many unbiased public and political figures from EU member countries have already done.
The EU invokes international law but seems to forget about its gross violations in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, and, for that matter, Ukraine, with the goal of toppling unwanted regimes in which its member countries took an active part. The EU has yet to respond adequately to the regular marches and rallies of Waffen-SS veterans in Latvia, which not only insult the memory of millions of victims, but also ignore the rulings of the Nuremberg Tribunal, as well as the UN General Assembly resolutions on inadmissibility of the glorification of Nazism.
Fabrications about “threats to international security” and the “ongoing militarisation” of Crimea also come as a surprise. The EU prefers not to notice the deployment of US missile defence elements in Romania and Poland, the ever more frequent NATO exercises in the Black Sea, and the increased NATO military presence in Eastern Europe, which have a negative impact on the security situation in Europe, including the Black Sea region.
The attempt to portray the EU’s blanket discriminatory restrictive measures against Crimeans as part of the “policy of non-recognition” of the reunification of Crimea with Russia appears cynical. In the context of EU visa policies, they are reminiscent of “visa reprisals” and run counter to a range of norms of international law. The same applies to the EU’s appeals to UN member states to impose sanctions on Russia.
The adoption by the European Parliament on March 16 of the resolution on Ukrainian Political Prisoners in Russia and Situation in Crimea once again demonstrates a prejudiced approach to human rights. Clearly, the EU has long lost its moral right to act as an authority on human rights issues. For the sake of dubious political expediency, Brussels prefers to turn a blind eye to the actions of the Kiev regime and the Ukrainian nationalists blocking water and energy supplies to Crimea, non-payment of pensions and benefits, as well as the blocking of railway links with southeastern Ukraine, not to mention the numerous migrant issues in the EU itself, including the disappearance of migrant children and violations of their rights, the status of “non-citizens” in Latvia and Estonia, growing racism and xenophobia throughout the European Union, and the blatant human rights violations in the course of involvement of a number of EU countries in the infamous secret CIA prisons. Those are the cold hard facts. However, MEPs in their resolutions on Crimea prefer to see only the mythical deterioration of the situation of the Crimean Tatar population, despite the fact that real progress in restoring its rights was made only after reunification of the peninsula with Russia.
To reiterate, Crimea and Sevastopol are an integral part of the Russian Federation, and methods of political or economic pressure, to which the European Union persistently resorts, are futile efforts and will not change this fact.
That’s tellin’ ’em.
Disgusting hypocrites and “relativizers.”
And exactly who are these worthies perched in Brussels? Were they elected, appointed or anointed? They don’t like the situation in Krimu and Sevastopol? Have any of them been here since we slammed the doors in the faces of the thugs from Maidan? My advice to these worthies is either come here and see for yourself, which you don’t have the stones to do, or Sierra Tango Foxtrot Uniform.
You see, my worthy ladies and gentlemen ensconced in Brussels, we were acutely aware of exactly who did what and how in the coup in Kiev. We also were acutely aware of your past coups and the results for the citizens of your efforts in Yugoslavia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Irak and what is now Novorissiya among other places. That, my charming denizens of Brussels, is why the moment we knew Yanukovich in all his bravery had run when you went 180 degrees against the agreement YOU signed with him before the ink was dry on said document, we also knew your plans for us and your nato desire to take our harbor and Navy bases.
Didn’t work, did it? And for the last three years you have been beside yourselves with rage over the fact that a bunch of Untermenschen stopped your little plans and hopes in their tracks. Here’s some advice for you. Stop being such total fools. Krimu and Sevastopol will never go back to Ukraine. Period. The longer you sit and stew over what is now engraved in stone the worse it is for your mental health, although I do have some questions about that aspect of you, collectively I think the lot of you need some real professional help concerning your mental capacities.
Now, you have a nice evening, go to your favorite restaurants, have a good meal on your expense tabs and leave us to h//l alone. Remember, the two times you invaded Russia the Russian Army ended up in your capitols. Never forget that fact. Ever.
As a parting little something to think about, here’s a quote from one of my books.
“……a pleasant little cruise to screw with the stupid Russians has suddenly become deadly serious and they understand very clearly now the danger we were in from those supposedly stupid Russians. Stupid they ain’t, dangerous they are, very dangerous.”

I am afraid that ‘we’ may have to go to Brussels and Berlin (again), and Washington, Tel Aviv (finally), to explain things to them. They do not seem to get it.
DC I think is in process. Breaking news is it seems to be true about the wiretaps and surveillance of President Trump during and after the election, both him and apparently many members of his election team, transition team and prospective administration.
Brussels, they haven’t a clue. Merkel was Stazi, read ‘new’ Gestapo, and has a deep fear that someone will spill the beans on her. Tel Aviv, they know which side of the bread their butter is on. Bibi, on the other hand…… That being said, I agree, time to pay a visit to Berlin and Paris again and include Brussels on the tour.

“explain things to them”
Explain? You’re being generous, I hope.

Hi there.
Might not be the appropriate response to your post, But, I have decided to go to/visit Crimea this year, and might actually bring along/incite quite a few people from a few countries, including Russia.
We need, however, all the practical advice’s we can get from you (or anybody reading this from wherever), in order to maximize our experiences/expanding our knowledge etc..All within one week stay, (which off course is quite insufficient, but should be enough for a gist).
I have invited The Saker to join, with a stop-over in Moscow. Unfortunately, and for private, and very honorable reasons he can’t do that.
Who is in?
P.S. I stopped flying on commercial airlines a few years back, (as a matter of principle), when they introduced scanners etc. etc. etc., unless I was the pilot.
I will make an exception for Crimea though.
Now my Pilot license has expired, so legally I can’t fly!! (can still ride a bicycle and drive a car (any car)

What’s a MID?
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Thanks. I don’t understand why that acronym — from Russian (which I don’t speak) — I guess.
Acronyms drive me crazy, there are so many used now.
I use DuckDuckGo for acronyms which is usually very helpful. I didn’t expect a result for a Russian acronym but I tried nevertheless and there it was – Ministry of Foreign Affairs Russia –
the last result out of 13 results.
I guess this article is by Scott –
In the summer of 2016 I visited, for a week, the Crimea and stayed in Sevastopol. I visited with the citizens there and we spoke freely about their reunification with Mother Russia. They overwhelmingly told me of standing in a voting line for hours, holding small Russian flags, waiting to vote for union. The results of the free election was over 90% for reunification.
I was told of what the Russians were doing for them, the building of the Kirsch bridge, natural gas supplies, electricity supplied from a power plant in Russia and the upgrading of the shipping port on the Black Sea.
The citizens there are so glad to be away from the neo-Nazis in Kiev. The news items from Europe and North America are nothing but lies and propaganda. My eyes and ears portrayed the real truth to me. May God Bless and guide the Russian speaking people.
Thank you.

Same thing happened when I visited in May, 2015. Can’t wait to go back when I get the money to go.
The eu is a zionazi quisling glob, what would one expect from them – decent human behaviour and values?
:D
British PM Lloyd George perfectly summed up the Western attitude towards human rights and international law:
“We have to reserve the right to bomb the niggers.”

@”Clearly, the EU has long lost its moral right to act as an authority on human rights issues.”
This fascist entity of unelected bureaucrats and would-be empire never had any.

Will this statement receive an airing in the EU? If the EU press resembles the U.S. press, the answer will be “No”.
Frankly, probably the best thing that could happen for human rights is if the Western monopoly on deciding what is a violation ends.
