Half a Million Russians Face Eviction From Crimea if Ukraine Takes it Back
Half a million Russians will face eviction from Crimea should Ukraine recapture the Black Sea peninsula that was illegally annexed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2014, an official has said.
In a video published on Thursday, Tasheva said between 2014 and 2016, many Russians illegally traveled to the Black Sea peninsula from Russia after it was annexed from Ukraine.
"All these persons are in the territory of Ukraine illegally, they did not come through the crossing points of Kalanchak, Chaplinka or Chongar, when they were still there before the full-scale invasion, because there are no points through the Russian Federation. There is no Kerch bridge, etc., these are all illegal entries."
"They should have gone, firstly, through Ukrainian checkpoints, secondly, they should have made a request for the possibility of living on the territory of Ukraine, clearly Crimea is a constituent part of the Ukrainian state, so they should have made such a request," Tasheva continued.
She added: "We will unequivocally de-occupy the territory of the Crimean peninsula, so of course we will ask them to leave the territory of Crimea."
