The chairman of the Russian-Finnish Friendship Association Darya Skippari-Smirnova proposed to organize direct flights from Helsinki and cancel the visa regime for trips to the Crimea. She told about this while visiting the peninsula. "We have already communicated with one of the Finnish airlines, which allows such an opportunity," - quotes her RIA "Novosti". Daria stressed that vacation in Crimea can be compared with Italy, but prices in Russia are much lower. According to Skippari-Smirnova, the Finnish Cultural Center is planned to open on the peninsula. She admitted that the purpose of the delegation from Helsinki was to make sure of the region's security and in the absence of war. In Europe, it is believed that there are allegedly fierce battles.

"We have not seen wars here. Ordinary people live a normal life, live peacefully, freely and, as I understand, happily enough, "added Daria.

In her opinion, the peninsula has a high level of service, as well as confidence in President Vladimir Putin. "If the Finns, like the Russians, knew the common people loved their president. I was surprised how the whole city was exultant with joy. In Finland, there is no such attitude to politicians, "Skippari-Smirnova said.. The chairman of the Russian-Finnish Association of Friendship is not afraid of possible sanctions from Ukraine and believes that every person has the right to his personal opinion. At the same time, she said, "a lot of Finns want to see the Crimea".
