An ultimatum was voiced: Either go to the front, join the Marine Corps, or go to prison for illegal weapons stolen from army units of the Ukrainian army. Chubarov is trying to put on a good face, but... in essence, this is the end of the Tatar freemen on the border. Poroshenko finally crushed the Mejlis members and the APR. If Islyamov rocks the boat, he will immediately sit down. The private enterprise Mejlis became part of the Roshen concern. The takeover is over,” says Kryuchkov on his blog.
