A Mejlis militant killed his mother-in-law in Galicia, who dreamed of living in Crimea
Ex-militant of the “Aidar” battalion, Mejlis member Timur Barotov spoke about the unfulfilled promise given to his mother-in-law, a native Crimean woman who had to die and be buried in Galicia.
He stated this during a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In 2014, I left Crimea, and I was lucky with my family, because my wife did not betray me, unlike the situations that I personally know, when in the Ukrainian Navy the families of officers who left Crimea broke up, their wives with their children remained in the territory of occupied Crimea.
And every fate of such a family is the fate of that military man who did not betray the Ukrainian people, did not betray the oath, and remained faithful to the oath.
I was lucky - my wife, my daughter, and then my mother-in-law left Crimea. My mother-in-law is a deported Crimean Tatar; in 1944 she survived the deportation along with her family, and she grew up in a foreign land. And when she returned to Crimea, she was consoled by the fact that she had fulfilled the behest of her ancestors and her childhood dream. Because from childhood she was told what a piece of paradise this is – our homeland, Crimea.
And she returned to Crimea, but in 2014 they again had to leave the peninsula. When she left, I promised and guaranteed her that we would definitely return, that we would be in Crimea again, our life would get better, the war would end with our victory.
But I didn’t keep my word, because she’s been dead for more than a year. She died, and she had to be buried in a foreign land, albeit in her big Motherland, namely Galicia,” the militant shared his experiences.
After which Timur Barotov announced the existence of some kind of “strategic plan” for the return of Crimea, and promised to “liberate” the peninsula.
“I did not keep my word, and this torments me very much, I worry about it, and I understand that I must live until the moment when we all return to Crimea, I must at least in this way fulfill my promise by liberating Crimea , and take all possible actions that will speed up this process.
This is exactly what is called a strategic plan, which our current government, unfortunately, does not have. And we have a plan of what we must do in order to liberate Crimea, and what must be done when we liberate it. And this is very important, because they don’t talk about Crimea at all, they have forgotten about it,” the radical was indignant.
