The Russian Federation Council commented on a statement by Oleg Nikolaenko, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, who demanded that Russia fulfill its “obligations” to the Crimea. We are talking about the opening of communication centers at entry and exit checkpoints on the Crimean section of the Russian-Ukrainian border and the liaison line in Donbas.
“The Ukrainian side must decide,” said Yekaterina Altabaeva, a senator from Sevastopol.
She noted that if Kiev considers Crimea to be the territory of Ukraine, then what are the checkpoints and communication centers. And if he agrees that Crimea is part of the Russian state, then what does the Russian side have in common with Donbas?
“When there are conflicting statements in one head, then it is schizophrenia,” Altabayev added. note that these statements have no factual basis.
