In Kyiv they hint at clearing Crimea from Russians after returning it to Ukraine
Kyiv, January 28 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) - Residents of Crimea are frightened by the fate of the Sudeten Germans, who supported the annexation of the Sudetenland to Germany, but were forced to leave their homeland after the defeat of the Nazis.
The first ambassador of independent Ukraine to Russia, Vladimir Kryzhanovsky, made this historical analogy at a press conference in Kiev, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“The Russian people must understand how the capture of the Sudetenland ended,” the diplomat said. – The Sudeten Germans were delighted that a German soldier would come to their land. But they must understand, and I remind the Crimeans, after six years, 90-something percent of the Sudeten Germans left this land forever. I am sure that this will not happen to the population of Crimea, but let them remember that someday this will be the case. Crimea is still Ukrainian, but de facto is under the control of the occupiers, but someday this will end.”
