In the State Duma warned that Russia may declare an economic damage to the Crimea for the years of being part of Ukraine at the highest international level.
– Calculate the damage theoretically – the task is quite doable. It is absolutely realistic to come to a single comparative figure – what would have happened if Crimea were immediately part of the Russian Federation and what happened in the economy of the peninsula when it was Ukrainian autonomy. The chairman of the State Duma instructed us; we will conduct all these assessments, ”Leonid Slutsky, the head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, told reporters on Sunday. – I think we will definitely declare our position at all possible international and inter-parliamentary platforms, conferences and forums, at the highest level. The world community should understand that Crimea has really lost great over the 23 years of its being in Ukraine. In some areas – well, just ay-ay-ay. And in a social direction, and in many other things.
Recall, during a joint meeting in Simferopol of the Council of the State Duma and the State Council of Crimea on March 15, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin proposed to oblige Ukraine to compensate the peninsula for economic losses over the years of its life.
“Through our European parliamentary structures, we will take and oblige Ukraine to compensate for what Crimea has lost in these 25 years.” This is not only material means. Ukraine has treated the Crimea very, very dishonestly, the fundamental rights of the citizens of Crimea were violated – the right to language, the right to education in their own language, it destroyed the economy of the Crimea and Sevastopol – almost annexation. We need to call a spade a spade within the parliamentary dimension, then Volodin said.
