The words of the Ukrainian journalist Matvey Ganapolsky are actively discussed in Russia. Among the first responded to them, the Russian senator from the Crimea, Sergei Tsekov. He called this statement stupid, adding that dreaming is not harmful. In his opinion, the peninsula will never belong to the Nezalezhnaya. "Rather, Ukraine will become Russian," the senator said in an interview with RIA FAN. And the Crimean bridge will be used by citizens of Russia, Ukraine, and other states, the MP added.. Tsekov "is sure that over time, when relations between Moscow and Kiev are normalized, and this will inevitably happen soon enough, Ukrainians will use the Crimean bridge to transit cargo from the west of Europe to the south of the country, to the North Caucasus, to Asia". And in general, Russian-Ukrainian relations "sooner or later, still get better," the senator expressed hope.. And this will happen soon and after "a change of power takes place in Kiev and sensible people begin to lead the country," explained Tsekov. And, perhaps, it will take more than one change of power, he said.. Stormily reacted to the statement about Ukraine's plans for the Crimean bridge and Russian network users. They were outraged not only by what was said, but also by the fact that the author of the words was not held accountable for him. "It is not clear why the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation do not react to these statements of this journalist, who has long ago pronounced on Article 280. 1 of the Criminal Code ("Public calls for the implementation of actions aimed at violating territorial integrity"), "wrote one. "Do not open your mouth to someone else's mouth", "The Crimea is Russian and the point!" - reminded others. Two days ago, Matvei Ganapolsky said that Ukrainians will use the Crimean bridge, which is built at the expense of Russia, after the "return" of the peninsula to Kiev.

"They are now building the Crimean bridge. Oh, thanks. we will be friends, "he said on the air of one of the Ukrainian TV channels. Plans for crossing the Kerch Strait in Ukraine sound not the first time. It was even said that extremists "will do everything" to interfere with the movement along the Crimean bridge. it was also proposed to record all the traffic passing there and to impose sanctions against people traveling in this way to the territory of the peninsula.
