Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, contestant of President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, said that “legally Crimea is Ukrainian, in fact it is Russian.”
Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, Belarusian opposition politician and presidential candidate, at her second attempt gave answer on Crimea status. She discussed it during her interview for Euroradio.
“I can answer to that from the point of view of a human being, a woman who is against any war. I feel pain over the war in Ukraine and that in such manner the country had passed from one side to the other. This is very sensitive question, it divides people, it makes them collide when they start the discussion. Please, let me say it the way it is customary in our country, the way it is customary under international law? Legally Crimea is Ukrainian, in fact – it is Russian. And please don’t torture me anymore.” – she said.
First time Tikhanovskaya was asked this question during interview for Meduza. Then, she refused to answer it declaring “question of Crimea divides society”.
Russia annexed Crimea after unlawful referendum on March 16 2014. Ukraine and majority of world countries do not recognize Crimea as Russian territory and condemn the annexation. Now, there is a checkpoint regime in place between continental Ukraine and Crimea, and Kyiv de facto has no control over the peninsula.
Legally Belarus has never recognize Crimea as the territory of Russia.

I was hoping this woman might win, and somehow be friendlier towards Ukraine. After this confession, I see no reason to think anything would be different with this Russian lover in charge of Belarus.
As I understand it, in her platform she wants to rerun the election again in 6 months if she wins. She wants to let the opposition out of jail first.
She has no chance of winning. Nemtsov would have more chance of beating Putin, and he’s been dead 5 years.
Seems Luka is the opposition here. Now we know why Wagners were around, to overthrow Luka and install a Putin asslicker.
This woman sounds like a Putin asslicker to me.
Go Luka! 😂
He’s already got the results on his desk. He’s just wondering how many % of the people he should claim voted for him.
The campaign manager of Svetlana Tichanovskaja has been arrested. Luka won the election!
The doofus jellyfish of the world are sitting on pins and needles over who will win this exciting presidential race.
Of course, we know that Luka is not even dreaming of retiring yet.
Yeah, and I don’t think his son is old enough to take over yet.
Apparently he intends to stay in power until his youngest son is old enough to stand for election and replace him. His two middle aged sons were not considered suitable.
I looked him up in wiki and learned that he is a fan of Hitler and hates Jews. No surprise there.
She’s right !
“legally Crimea is Ukrainian, in fact it is Russian.” |
so those imported russians have to be re-imported back to Muscovy after RF fails and falls,
and NO thats not deporting like in 1944 Crimean Tartars.
Like Merkel said dec 1 2018:

is clear for Germany: a wrongful act cannot create a new, legally valid country.
(both for RF illegal occupations and Israel’s occupation of Palestine now still blocked by USA UN vetos)
