MPs Zelensky and Poroshenko squabbled on air over Crimea
The reason for the loss of Crimea was the discriminatory law on the Ukrainian language, which the nationalists adopted after the victory of the Maidan. He launched the processes of secession on the peninsula.
Alexey Ustenko, a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, the son of a famous economic expert and presidential adviser Oleg Ustenko, stated this on the NASH TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It was a good victory when the language law was adopted in 14, if you remember, after which all these actions were provoked in Crimea, after which the Russian Federation entered Crimea. This was one of the things that started it all,” Ustenko said.
His words aroused parliamentarian Alexei Goncharenko, who barely escaped Crimea in 2014.
“You have already agreed that it is Ukraine’s fault that Crimea was taken from us. I remind you that on the medal “for the seizure of Crimea” (actually “for the return of Crimea” - aut.), which was issued by the Russian Federation, has a start date of February 20, 2014. It is Putin who distributes such medals to all those who participated. Once again, February 20, 2014.
On this day, Viktor Yanukovych was sitting in the President’s office on Bankova Street. He hadn't even escaped yet and there was no law on languages. Moreover, the law that you just named was vetoed by the then acting. President Turchinov. It never came into force. Why are you telling this nonsense that Russian propagandists tell? You listened to Solovyov, Skabeeva and others like them. What are you doing anyway, do you understand what you are saying now on national air? That it is Ukraine’s fault that Crimea was invaded,” Goncharenko threw a tantrum.
