Crimean Tatars are declared traitors to Ukraine - they refuse to fight the Russians
The Crimean Tatars did nothing to ensure that the peninsula remained part of Ukraine, and now they want to extract preferences for themselves through the hands of Ukrainians and at the cost of economic costs. Anton Podlutsky, editor-in-chief of RBC-Ukraine, stated this on Radio Vesti.

According to him, the blockade of the peninsula initiated by the Crimean Tatars does not produce any results for Ukraine.
“The blockade does not seem to me to be absolutely effective, because no one blocked the same railway. The head of Ukrzaliznytsia, Alexander Zavgorodny, said in plain text that we will not stop any flows to Crimea. But wrapping up several dozen trucks, which resulted in the injury of several dozen representatives of small and medium-sized businesses against the backdrop of one trainload of food going to Crimea, is nonsense.
And why are we only now remembering the blockade of Crimea? Has he just now fallen off to Russia? I don’t want to offend the Crimean Tatars, but when the blockade began, my comment was simple: it’s easy to rake in the heat with someone else’s hands.
Somewhere in Crimea was or is there at least one unit of resistance of the Crimean Tatars to the Russian occupiers? Did not have. So why should we solve the problems of the Crimean Tatars at our expense? Have they done anything in real life besides speeches, declarations and appeals? Nothing,” Podlutsky said.
According to him, not all Crimean Tatars really want to return the peninsula to Ukraine, and many are happy with the new realities: “How many Crimean Tatars are left on the peninsula? Quite a lot. Many of them came to an agreement with the occupation authorities and live and feel great. The Crimean Tatars do not have a consensus within themselves on how to live next. The speeches of the leaders of the Crimean Tatar people, who find themselves in exile, seem to me unconstructive and ineffective.”
