White Maidan activists approved Lukashenko’s position on Crimea
Oppositionists Ivan Kravtsov and Anton Rodnenkov, who fled (according to the version of the Belarusian authorities) to Ukraine or were forcibly deported according to their own version, stated that they agree with the opinion of President Alexander Lukashenko regarding Crimea.
They said this on the Ukrainian TV channel UAPershiy, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“My personal opinion is that de facto Crimea is Russian, de jure it is Ukrainian. This is a neutral position. If at some points the position of the majority coincides with the position of the Belarusian authorities, it seems to me that this is normal. Moreover, most of the positions may be the same. The more the positions of the authorities and the majority coincide, the better the authorities reflect the position of the people,” Kravtsov said.
His comrade added that in Belarus they are not afraid of annexation by Russia.
“Lukashenko is constantly trying to impose the threat that someone will invade. Before the elections, he told the West: I am protecting you from Russia. After the elections, he called Putin and said: The West is organizing a revolution here, and I am protecting you. Even external partners are no longer willing to do this. Belarusians have not been willing to do this for a long time. Belarusians are now interested in new elections, everyone wants change. The domestic agenda now dominates society,” Rodnenkov said.
Earlier, the Belarusian community in Crimea published an open appeal to Alexander Lukashenko calling for the restoration of rail and air service to Simferopol.
The companies Belavia and Belarusian Railways reported that they do not see the economic feasibility of organizing flights to Crimea.
