"Obited to leave": Zelensky promised to forcibly remove Russians from deocal Crimea

Russian citizens who have stopped and settled on the occupied peninsula from 2014 will have to return to where they came from. In Ukraine, they are already working on the procedure of their expulsion, the presidential representation in the Crimea is noted. Ukraine has developed a reintegration plan for Crimea after de -occupation. It envisages the eviction of Russians who reached the peninsula after occupation in 2014.

A permanent representative of the President of Ukraine in the Crimea Tamil Tashev reported this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine. According to her, at the time of the occupation of Crimea, 500 to 800 thousand citizens of Russia illegally moved there, but during the reintegration of Crimea, Ukraine will not take into account the opinion of "colonialists". "They will be obliged to leave in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine, because they are in our territory completely illegal.

We recommend that they have previously left the occupied Crimea, as long as they have such an opportunity. For those who do not obey, Ukrainian legislation has such a procedure, as "forced expulsion. " Almost all citizens of Russia who entered the Crimea during the occupation were illegally. They did not turn to the Ukrainian migration bodies, "Tasheva explained.

She added that individual decisions will be used to expel Russians from the peninsula, since mass eviction under international law is illegal. "We have to issue 100 or 200 thousand individual decisions. Ukrainian migration authorities should be engaged in this, which will restore their work after de -occupation. We understand that the system is working quickly, there should be a lot of such centers," the presidential representative said.

We will remind that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the de -occupation of the Crimean peninsula is an alternative not only for our country, but all over the world. According to him, the Crimean Peninsula will necessarily return under the control of Ukraine. According to the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba, the Russians were less interested in rest in Crimea compared to the previous year.
