State Duma (lower chamber of the Russian Parliament) deputy Konstantin Zatulin claims that the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) warned about possible ban for him to enter Ukraine.
He voiced this announcement at the radio station Echo of Moscow.
"Yesterday [May 13] the Security Service of Ukraine warned me, as it warned Luzhkov on May 10 about him being persona non grata, that the same fate will befall me," he said.
In his words, the SBU substantiates its position with that Sevastopol's belonging to the Ukrainian side is fixed by the Ukraine - Russia friendship agreement.
"They [in Ukraine] understand that it conceals Kashchey's soul and tells that the borders are inviolable," he assures.
So, the deputy thinks that if Russia quits the agreement Sevastopol would cease to be under Ukrainian jurisdiction.
"If we quit the contract, we would simply announce our position: we're not proclaiming war with Ukraine and not going to assault Sevastopol or Crimea," says Zatulin.
He is sure, population of Sevastopol and Crimea would gladly claim for their Russian status in case of Russia quits the agreement on friendship.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, Russia's Foreign Affairs Ministry takes the ban of the SBU for Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov to enter Ukraine as an unfriendly step.
The SBU banned Moscow's Mayor Yuri Luzhkov from entering Ukraine on May 12 because of a statement he made in Sevastopol on May 11 during the commemoration of the 225th anniversary of the Russian Black Sea naval fleet.
In July 2007 Ukraine and Russia cleared the lists of personae non grata.
