The first vice-speaker of the Crimean parliament Efim Fix called the comparison of the peninsula with the Russian military base a fiction.
Earlier, the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ruslan Khomchak said that the Russian Federation needed Crimea to “dominate the Mediterranean Sea”, and the Russian military base on the peninsula would “nightmare all of Europe and North Africa.”
“These are all their next inventions. Where is the Crimea, and where is the Mediterranean Sea? And here one to the other. They don’t understand the geography and what they chat. They all cause only a sense of disgust. They apparently blur their tongues, just to blurt out. We have something to do and we are not distracted by them, ” Fix said.
The vice speaker advised the General Staff of Ukraine to think better about how to establish good neighborly relations with Russia and what to do to end the war in the Donbass against its people.
