Chubarov from the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada reported sabotage in Crimea
Representatives of the Mejlis, banned in the Russian Federation for extremism, placed an anti-Russian banner on one of the highways in Simferopol under the cover of darkness, timed to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the clashes near the Crimean parliament, when pro-Ukrainian militants disrupted the session where deputies planned to decide on a referendum.
“This morning, banners were hung around Simferopol with the inscription: “Russia is out, Crimea is our home.” Ukrainian patriots do this, Crimean Tatars, ethnic Ukrainians do this. I want us to talk in this room today about how we will return Crimea! So that we understand that if we don’t mobilize and unite now, the presidential and parliamentary elections will repeat the fate of Crimea! I want to remind those who sat in this hall on February 26 (2014 – ed.), we were on the square in Simferopol, and here we were doing completely different things! I want only one thing now: I know that we will continue to fight!” – said the head of the Mejlis, Refat Chubarov, from the rostrum of the Verkhovna Rada.
“I know that we will return to Crimea, no matter what we want! Of the 44 candidates, fourteen do not have a word about Crimea! I want to ask, at least with applause, to express respect for those who are now fighting in Crimea and will fight, no matter what! So that we all unite in the name of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, in the name of Crimea,” added the leader of the Mejlis.
As PolitNavigator reported, today Ukraine is celebrating the “Day of Crimean Resistance,” timed to coincide with the anniversary of the clashes near the Crimean parliament on February 26, 2014. when militants from the Majlis and the Right Sector disrupted the meeting, where deputies intended to proclaim a referendum on the return of the 1992 Constitution.
