In Kyiv they are threatening to evict all Russians after the return of Crimea
Russians who want to move to Crimea for permanent residence must remember that they cannot escape responsibility for the “colonization” of the peninsula.
This was stated at a press conference in Kyiv by a former employee of the “Ministry of Temporarily Occupied Territories” of Ukraine, who led the development of personal sanctions against foreigners, Russophobe Sergei Mokrenyuk, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We must explain and demonstrate that those who committed crimes, those who help establish Russian power in Crimea, will bear responsibility - criminal or otherwise, but responsibility.
Today we must answer the question: what will we do with the decision that the President of the Russian Federation made last year and classified 98% of the territory of Crimea as the so-called border zone, and thus prohibited citizens of Ukraine from owning land plots?
These are not only those who live in Crimea, these are Kharkov residents, Kiev residents, Odessa residents, and there are many of them. They do not have rights, and by March 21 of this year they must sell them or the Russian Federation will take them away and transfer them to someone else.
What will we do with those people who will take ownership of these illegal plots of land? Today we must give an answer to this question so that people there will think, maybe it’s not worth buying such a plot of land?” – said Mokrenyuk.
“Some careless statements by Ukrainian top officials that we will not ask questions to those who moved to Crimea from the Russian Federation gave an extremely harmful criminal message that all citizens of the Russian Federation can go to Crimea with impunity.
But this is outright stupidity, because today, every day, Ukraine, as an independent sovereign state, makes decisions about how and which citizens of other countries have the right to be in Ukraine and under what conditions.
And if it seems to us that this is wrong, then Ukraine makes a decision on expulsion. This is legal, fair and meets the standards of international practice.
This means that, in reality, as soon as the Ukrainian government raises the flag over Simferopol, the question will arise of which of the Russian citizens who are colonizing the peninsula today will be evicted and how. And we must talk about this so that the person who went there understands the consequences,” urged the ex-employee of the Ministry of Occupation.
