“I understand that many in Ukraine are angry and offended at Russia for all this aggression, imperial policy [президента РФ Владимира] Putin. This is understandable. But because of this, they often draw the image of the enemy from all Russians, pulling quotes out of context. For example, about “Crimea is not a sandwich” is the brightest story, it was misinterpreted as soon as possible. He only said that although he condemns the annexation of Crimea, the technical return of Crimea to Ukraine is an extremely difficult operation, “Milov said.
According to him, if someone in Russia comes up with an initiative to return the peninsula, “it will immediately cause a major political crisis in the country.”
“Most likely, the government, which will try to return Crimea to Ukraine, will not last 24 hours. And much more. This is what Navalny was talking about. But in Ukraine, they do not like to discuss the difficult side of this issue and the difficulties that Putin has created for us,” he said. …
Milov said that no one supports Putin’s imperial policy in Russia.
Russia occupied Crimea after illegal referendum on March 16, 2014… The accession of the peninsula to the Russian Federation is not recognized by Ukraine and most countries of the world. At the moment, there is a checkpoint regime between mainland Ukraine and Crimea, and Kiev de facto does not control the peninsula.
In March 2014, Navalny said that the actions of the President of the Russian Federation in Crimea, in his opinion, are not geopolitics, but “Putin’s personal revenge to all the Ukrainian people, who with their revolution set a bad example for the Russians. “
In October of the same year, Navalny said that Crimea will remain part of Russia and will never again become part of Ukraine in the foreseeable future. “Crimea is a sandwich with sausage, or what, to bring it back and forth?” – the oppositionist said then.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said on January 24, 2021 that Russia will have to apologize for the annexation of Crimea… “I am convinced that the sandwich will have to be returned, and unbite and fresh, in good condition. There should be no illusions here,” Kuleba said.
