The Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers threatens to deport Russians from Crimea
Ukraine will force all Russian citizens who moved to the peninsula after March 2014 to leave Crimea.
Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, Minister for “Integration” Irina Vereshchuk stated this on Channel 11, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Vereshchuk, these Russians should leave now.
“There are citizens of Ukraine who lived and are living in occupied Crimea, who received a passport because it was impossible to survive during these nine years, and that’s one thing. And there are colonialists who, after 2014, illegally, in violation of Ukrainian legislation, came to the temporarily occupied Ukrainian Crimea and live. Moreover, they use the property, for example, of those who left, automobile equipment and other property.
Such people will be forced to leave Ukrainian Crimea. Then there will be a procedure, the law will establish how it is possible and what needs to be done, but they will be forced to leave for the Russian Federation, where they came from. They are violators of the law, they violated Ukrainian legislation.
There is such a thing as expulsion - no one will put anyone in the carriages, but my human advice is to go already, get ready and go while the Crimean Bridge is there, while there is some opportunity,” Vereshchuk ranted.
