Earlier, ex-Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Anatoly Mogilev said that Kiev had surrendered the Crimea as useless. Let us recall that the peninsula has been part of Russia for almost 4 years, since March 18, 2014. The accession of Crimea was supported by the overwhelming majority of its inhabitants. However, Ukraine still considers the territory of the peninsula "temporarily occupied" and declares that it belongs to the Nezalezhnaya. However, back in 2016, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Crimean question "closed finally".
