“This is a narrow-minded person who only sees nothing but his nose. His view is nothing more than fantasy and political blindness. Let them take better care of their own internal problems, but you don’t have to worry about us.” they make very loud statements before a major failure,” Sheremet told RIA Novosti.

“But the British should consider what abyss their own officials are drifting into and stockpile life jackets for the future, they will be needed suddenly, you never know what will happen in life,” the MP said.
Crimea became a part of Russia with the referendum held in March 2014 after the coup in Ukraine. In the 2014 referendum, 96.77% of the voters in Crimea and 95.6% of the voters in Sevastopol were in favor of joining Russia. Ukraine still considers Crimea as its temporarily occupied territory, many Western countries support Kiev in this regard. The Russian leadership has repeatedly stated that the residents of Crimea vote for democratic reunification with Russia in full compliance with international law and the UN Charter. According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Crimean issue is “finally closed.”
