Simferopol, December 20 (PolitNavigator, Evgeny Andreev) – The introduction of new unilateral sanctions against Crimea and Sevastopol by the United States and the European Union is direct evidence of the West’s recognition that the decision of the Crimeans to reunite with the Russian Federation was unanimous and voluntary.

This is stated in the commentary of the Department of Information and Press of the Russian Foreign Ministry, published on Saturday on the official website of the ministry.
“The introduction of new unilateral sanctions against the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol by the United States and the European Union is direct evidence of the West’s recognition that the decision of the Crimeans to reunite with Russia was unanimous and voluntary. Therefore, the “punishment” was chosen collectively. By the way, knowledge of history at least at the level of a high school textbook allows you to remember who and when introduced collective punishments against entire nations. It’s sad that countries that call themselves democracies resort to such methods in the XNUMXst century,” the commentary says.
Over the centuries, the Foreign Ministry reminds, “the residents of Sevastopol and Crimea, together with the entire Russian people, have repeatedly proven their ability to resist aggression and pressure.”
“We are convinced that further attempts to break their spirit are doomed to failure,” they emphasize on Smolenskaya Square.
