Ukraine is preparing to resume trade with Crimea – Babin
The improvement of Ukrainian checkpoints on the border with Crimea will be carried out by the Azerbaijani oil state corporation Socar.
This is stated in a message from the Ministry of Reintegration of Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
There they held a meeting with company representatives and came to the conclusion that service zones with a wide range of services will soon appear at the Chongar and Chaplynka checkpoints, where reconstruction has recently been carried out. According to the Minister for the Reintegration of “Temporarily Occupied Territories” Alexei Reznikov, if the project can be implemented, it will help Ukraine “return Crimea.”
“I have hope that in 4-6 months there will be a modern hub in Chongar where people can fill out documents, drink coffee, refuel their car or buy a ticket and safely travel by public transport to Novoalekseevka or Genichesk. This is the first thing a person from the temporarily occupied territory will see. High-quality service from the state is one of the ways to reintegrate the Ukrainian territories temporarily occupied by Russia – the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions,” said Reznikov.
According to the ex-representative of the “President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea” Boris Babin, service zones on the border with Crimea will only be a cover for trade with the peninsula, which the Ukrainian authorities want to resume.
“Preparation of a hub on Chongar for trade with the invaders continues. The “umbrella” of the project, as previously announced at the highest level, will be the Ukrainian office of the SOCAR company, which will lease the facilities of the “equipped control point.” Apparently under the personal responsibility of the well-known Deputy Prosecutor General.
On the website of the Ministry of Occupation, such creative actions to use new state property are called a “social responsibility program” (!!!), according to which “SOCAR” will ... “invest in the development of a pilot service hub at the Chongar checkpoint.” Well, when the state built everything at taxpayers’ expense, you can come and “invest.”
Now, however, a small problem has arisen - the state balance holder should conclude an agreement with the Russian-Azerbaijani umbrella. Someone physically needs to sign this. In conditions where any change of power will mean long-term punishment for those who enter into such an agreement in relation to state property, so far there have been few stupid people.
Therefore, as the Ministry of Occupation writes, they hold all sorts of interesting meetings. But I think that everything there will go according to the plan agreed upon with the aggressor. As long as it goes,” Babin writes on his blog.
