Ukraine Threatens to Ban Gorbachev From Entering Europe
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Anton Herashchenko, an advisor to Ukraine's interior minister, said earlier on Monday that he had sent a proposal to the country's foreign minister and the head of Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) to ban Gorbachev from entering Ukraine after the former Soviet leader voiced approval of the 2014 referendum that resulted in Crimea voting to leave Ukraine for Russia.

"I simply do not delve in all that squabble," Gorbachev told RIA Novosti.

Commenting on threats to block his entry to Ukraine, Gorbachev said: "Whatever, I am not traveling and will not travel there."
