Update: Crimea is Ukraine
New Russian lies surrounding Crimea doesn’t erase a simple fact: Crimea is Ukraine
Russian lies about Crimea and the truth regarding the Ukraine’s sovereignty
The State Duma of the Russian Federation registered a draft law on the recognition of the “illegal” decision of the Soviet authorities in 1954 to transfer the Crimean region to Ukraine.
Attempts to revise and “cancel” the 1954 decisions are not new. The Russian parliament adopted such a resolution back in 1992.
The transfer of the Crimean region to the Ukrainian SSR in 1954 took place within the legislation in force at that time and corresponded to the widespread practice of territorial transfers between the republics.
The 1954 decision had an objective basis and contributed to the post-war reconstruction of Crimea with Ukrainian resources.
Whatever the decisions of 1954, but after the collapse of the USSR, Russia legally, and unambiguously recognized the borders of modern Ukraine both at the bilateral and multilateral levels.
These and other similar “legislative initiatives” are futile attempts by the Russian dictatorship to legitimize its own gross violations of international law.
Wars are created by states, not societies.
Choosing a side in a war is submitting to a state, not choosing one society over another.
Therefore, the abolishing of The State is the path to no war.
Exactly. Listening to Russians claim that a drunken Khrushchev made the transfer is so funny. It was decided by the Politbureau and of course he announced it as he was top dog at the time. And of course he was drunk. Have you ever been to a Russian banquet?
