BERLIN – German techno band Scooter faces significant legal consequences for performing at a festival in the Crimea region of Ukraine that was annexed by Russia in 2014, the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany said an interview published Saturday.
Andrij Melnyk, Ukraine’s envoy to Germany, told the Funke Mediengruppe newspaper chain that the band’s decision to enter the Crimea region “illegally” on Thursday was “not only a scandal, but also a crime with serious legal consequences.”
