“Russians in Crimea will always be a threat to Ukraine” – Mejlis member
Ukraine must prevent residents of mainland Russia from moving to Crimea, because they will pose a threat to Ukrainian independence.
A member of the Mejlis banned in the Russian Federation, Eskender Bariev, stated this on air on the Public Crimea TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Bariev, Ukraine needs to constantly remind the Russians that any transactions in Crimea are illegal and they could lose real estate and funds if Kyiv returns the peninsula under its control.
“Any agreements, any actions, any actions, any acquisitions by non-citizens of Ukraine on the territory of occupied Crimea are illegal. In any case, Russians who acquire land or property, they will be illegal and Russians should be afraid to acquire...
Thus, we are giving messages to Russians so that they clearly understand that it is not worth going to Crimea today, that it is not worth purchasing property in Crimea, that you should not invest your own earned financial resources in Crimea, because all this will be confiscated or all this should will they sell at any price...
We must take preventive measures, we must prevent mass settlement, because otherwise, even after de-occupation, we will not just have Crimea as a territory, but we will have Crimea as an explosive barrel, which will always be a threat to the unitary Ukrainian state,” he said Bariev.
