CRIMEA

The first bombardment over the Crimea was spectacularly successful. She told all about [the Russian Federation's] pierced air defenses. The bombing turned out to be something like that too – extremely calm, almost friendly.

In Novofedorovka, it turned out to be a hellish casserole of fighters with garnishes from the air force and their warehouses. Ukraine is a very polite country. She could not help but congratulate Russia on the Day of its Air Force. This was expected and natural.

The so-called M.P. in the State Duma from the annexed  Crimea by Russia - Mikhail Sheremet has proposed the Soviet flag to become the new state flag of Russia. This was announced on May 18, 2022 by the Russian agency RIA Novosti.

Sheremet said the West feared the Soviet flag because "the red flag of victory reminds him of the greatness of our people and our great victory".

During the second phase of the "special operation" launched this week, as people in the Russian Federation call the war against Ukraine for fear of punishment, it is planned to establish full control over Donbass and southern Ukraine and provide a land corridor to Crimea, said the  acting commander of the Central Military District - Rustam Minnekaev  (https://www.interfax.ru/world/837353 ).

The statement made by Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who denies Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, is a wake-up call and a slap in the face to Ukraine. Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine - Pavlo Anatoliyovych Klimkin, said on Facebook on December 4, 2019.

The President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Kemelyevich Tokayev, said that his country did not call the situation in Crimea annexation by Russia.

In an interview with “Deutsche Welle”, he said that annexation was “a word too hard for the Crimea”.

“What has happened has happened”, Tokaev said.

Russia artificially alters the ethnic composition of the occupied Crimea peninsula. Tamila Tasheva, Deputy Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine for the Crimea Autonomous Republic stated this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine, published on November 26, 2019.
