Ukrainian cyborg: We lost Crimea because we didn’t change Russian signs on the streets
If Russian-language street signs in Crimea were replaced with Ukrainian-language ones, Kyiv would be able to keep the peninsula under its control, Valery Kurko, commander of the 3rd airborne airborne battalion of the 80th separate airmobile brigade, said in an interview with the Den newspaper.

“Do you know why Crimea is not ours today? Because in 23 years of independence, no one has done anything to ensure that Crimea becomes at least 1% Ukrainian. From the minimum - change at least the signs with Russian street names to Ukrainian ones. Or a sign on a store. And already, reading in Ukrainian, a person will at least know that he is in Ukraine, and not in Russia or somewhere else. Even the same communist symbols pull you into the swamp of the past. That’s where the indifference comes from,” said the Ukrainian “cyborg.”
