In Kyiv, Ukrainians and Russians were declared different races
Kyiv, April 05 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – A racist policy is being implemented against Ukrainians living in Crimea.
This opinion is expressed in an author’s column on the pages of the Kyiv magazine “New Time” by the editor-in-chief of the Ukrainian website “Historical Truth” Vakhtang Kipiani.

“The authorities of the peninsula despise and ignore Ukrainians, as if they do not exist and never existed,” the author believes. – To prove this, the occupiers conducted a “census” in October last year. Obviously, its results are a political document, and not an objective snapshot of the socio-demographic situation on the peninsula. But even according to his data, today 345 thousand Ukrainians live in Crimea, which is almost 16% of the residents of the autonomy.”
The journalist recalls that the Ukrainian language is the state language of the Republic of Crimea along with Russian and Crimean Tatar, but nevertheless makes a significant reservation, which actually classifies Russians and Ukrainians as different races.
“In reality, the displacement of Ukrainian is in full swing,” writes Kipiani. – The project is racist in concept and execution. Ukrainian speakers have nothing to read in Crimea. There is also nowhere to hear the truth - the ATR channel was closed the other day. The same fate threatens Ukrainian schools.”
