乌克兰宣布克里米亚为暂时被占领领土
KIEV, April 15 (Xinhua) -- The Ukrainian parliament on Tuesday passed a bill declaring southern Crimea peninsula as a "territory temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation," the parliament's press service said.
The new law, which establishes a special legal regime in Crimea, won 228 votes cast in the 450-seat assembly.
The legislation said Crimea, the city of Sevastopol, and airspace and
territorial1 waters surrounding them are considered as an integral part of Ukraine.
The law imposes travel
restrictions2 on visiting Crimea, requiring tourists to have special permits for entering the peninsula.
According to the legislation, state and private properties in Crimea, including
offshore3 oil and natural gas platforms, will stay under the
proprietorship4 of their current owners.
Contrary to local
analysts5' expectations, the law does not
envisage6 a ban on economic and business activities in Crimea.
On March 17, the Crimean parliament declared independence from Ukraine, after official results from a peninsula-wide referendum showed 96.77 percent of Crimean voters favoring joining Russia.
One day later, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Crimean leaders signed a treaty accepting the Crimea republic and the city of Sevastopol as part of Russian territory.
Kiev has rejected the referendum and Crimea's
integration7 into Russia, saying it was unconstitutional.
