The diplomats stressed Crimea is Ukraine.
The Embassy of the United States in Ukraine says it is concerned over the detention of 120 Crimean Tatars in Russian-occupied Crimea.
"Very concerned about Russian 'authorities' targeting and detaining 120 Crimean Tatars simply for being concerned about their fellow citizens' illegal detention. We support Ukrainian police in their probe into yet another illegal deprivation of liberties. Crimea is Ukraine," the U.S. diplomats wrote on Twitter on January 15, 2021.
