Vladimir Putin riles Ukraine with Crimea bikers' festival trip

Feb 16,2020 3:42 am

Ukraine has protested to Russia after a leather-clad President Vladimir Putin visited the annexed Crimean Peninsula to attend a bikers' festival.

Its foreign ministry described Saturday's visit as a "blatant violation of Ukraine's sovereignty".

Ukraine said attempts by Moscow and its media to present such visits as routine were "pathetic".

The Night Wolves , a right-wing nationalist bikers' group close to President Putin, were prominent supporters of the annexation.

This year, they held their annual show in Sevastopol, the peninsula's largest city.
