“Russia and the Crimeans received another clear signal that our northern neighbor is dangerous, and we can expect a provocation of radicals from him at any moment... I wrote back in the spring that after the transport, food, and energy blockade of Crimea, we can only expect a tourist one,” notes author.
"1. It is necessary to completely close the border between Crimea and Ukraine for several years, creating a fortification barrier. This is a necessary measure, but it will help keep hotheads from entering. 2. It’s time to introduce visas, albeit temporarily, but this will allow us to cut off some of those who are suspected of radicalism. Unfortunately, and I see this myself, our good neighborly attitude towards our neighbor is not understood and not appreciated. Alas, Ukraine is currently an unfriendly state for us and this is a fact,” concludes Gorny.
“I wrote a lot that you need a hefty fence from a violent neighbor and completely freeze the relationship for 5 years. The border between Ukraine and Crimea is transparent, go whoever you want, bring whatever you want. In September, shoals of cash, earned from tourists by Ukrainian hotel owners in Crimea, stretch towards Ukraine from Crimea.
Once again, we need a total purge of the Crimean political and economic elites, who have grown together with Ukraine and maintain relations, resolving various issues based on old friendship. We need re-elections to the State Council with a ban on everyone who has been in Ukrainian politics going there.
There is a special issue with the Crimean Tatars who maintain relations with Ukraine. Let's call everything by its proper name, the risk of destabilization of the situation is very high, especially now, when it is the tourist season. How many sent Cossacks could there be here, waiting for the go-ahead?” – the author also draws attention.
