Zelensky promises to expel hundreds of thousands of Russians from Crimea
Ukraine plans to deport at least half a million Russian citizens from Crimea.
Tamila Tasheva, head of the fake "representative office of the President of Ukraine in Crimea," announced this on Public Broadcasting, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Tasheva, this applies to those who do not have a Ukrainian passport and are “ethnic or non-ethnic Russian.”
“This is a very Russian narrative that there were a majority of Russians there. In fact, this is the territory of Ukraine, Ukrainian citizens lived there. The fact that there are now a large number of Russian citizens there – from 500 to 800 thousand people, all these Russian citizens should definitely leave the territory of Crimea,” the official said.
“And these ethnic Russians or non-ethnic, but Russian by citizenship, political, they should not exist on the territory of Crimea. “Everyone else - it doesn’t matter whether it was a Russian or an ethnic Ukrainian, a Crimean Tatar - they are all citizens of Ukraine, they need to be worked with as citizens of Ukraine,” Tasheva said.
