Russian State Duma deputy from Sevastopol Dmitry Belik promised to donate a thousand balloons to the first Sberbank branch to open in Crimea.
He stated this on the Forpost YouTube channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I’m talking about this directly: why do you work in Ukraine and finance all the processes there, and don’t go to Crimea? I will personally donate a thousand balloons to the first branch that will open in Crimea,” Belik said.
He admitted that there are similar problems on the peninsula with mobile communications and fuel.
“There are problems with gas stations. We do not have systemic Lukoil and BP. And the quality of our fuel, frankly speaking... I drove across the Crimean Bridge at the beginning of autumn. When you enter Crimea, your fuel consumption increases by 1,5-2 liters. We don’t have the same connection,” Belik said.
Let us remind you that the big three mobile operators in Russia have not entered Crimea, and zero national roaming does not apply to the peninsula.
