Senator from Crimea Olga Kovitidi replied to the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, who accused Moscow of the absence of normal Russian-Ukrainian relations. Ukrainian President, speaking at a briefing in Austria, in particular, answered the question about relations between Kyiv and Moscow. By tradition, Zelensky made claims to Russia for the lack of normal Russian-Ukrainian relations, and also criticized the will of the people of Crimea, who wished to build their future together with Russia. Besides, The President of Ukraine linked the intra-Ukrainian conflict in the Donbass with Russia.
According to a member of the Federation Council, Senator from Crimea Olga Kovitida, the president of Ukraine is still looking for the guilty in the wrong place, where are they actually located.
“Ukraine really has a lot of losses, - noted Kovitidi in the comment Federal News Agency. - First of all, as a result of the coup d'état, Ukraine lost its state sovereignty and its independence. This loss, about which Volodymyr Zelensky should grieve the most".
second, what should the president of Ukraine pay attention to instead of, to look for the guilty in Russia: he should attend to the fulfillment of his own election obligations, emphasized the senator from the Crimea.
"Let me remind you, Zelensky made a promise to the Ukrainian people to achieve an end to the armed conflict in Donbass. This conflict is a consequence of the coup in Ukraine in 2013-2014. However, nothing for, to fulfill your promise, he doesn't", - said the interlocutor of the FAN.
No less false are the statements of the Ukrainian president regarding Crimea, highlights Kovitidi.
"As for the Crimea, I want to remind the President of Ukraine of the need to comply with international law. In particular, remind him of the UN declaration, which concerns friendly relations and cooperation between countries. This declaration contains, in particular, the provision, which confirms the right of peoples to self-determination and independent choice of their own destiny.
However, the principle of equality of peoples and the right to self-determination, as we know, ignored by Ukraine, as well as those, who supports it - the United States and the countries of the European Union. We see, as Ukraine, and its Western curators defiantly reject the norms of international law.
This is what makes those, who is focused on the Russian world, look with hope for a strong Russia, which remains one of the few outposts of traditional historical and cultural values", - summarized Olga Kovitidi.
Crimea reunited with Russia in March 2014 year by referendum; as Moscow emphasizes, this happened in full compliance with international law and the UN Charter. Russia has also repeatedly stated, which is not a party to the conflict in Donbass.
