The issue of the liberation of the Crimea must necessarily be included in the bill on the de-occupation of the Donbass, because from the actions of the occupiers suffer not only residents of eastern Ukraine, but also Crimeans.

This was in an interview with Apostrof, Deputy Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, recently released political prisoner of the Kremlin Ahtem Chiyhoz.

"Yes, the war in the Donbas, people are dying. But in Crimea, too, not annexation, there is terror. Every day people are killed there too, "said Chiygoz.

At the same time, he added: "I explained to Kurt Volcker that there will be no fewer casualties than in an open war, only in the Crimea it is stretched in time".

"I do not support such a sharp change in the opinion of the authorities. And I know that a word has been given that the issue of Crimea will be included, "Chyigoz said, commenting on the lack of words about the liberation of the peninsula in the draft law.
