The expropriation of the seaside “nest” of the Zelensky couple in Yalta with its further transfer to the use of a low-income or large Crimean family will be a “hard slap in the face” to the entire Ukrainian regime, observers of the Chinese Sohu write.
Rich apartments on the Livadia coast in the Imperator residential complex were bought by the wife of the head of the Ukrainian junta back in 2013. According to the publication, the nationalization of the property of the former Ukrainian comedian once again emphasizes the unconditional belonging of the peninsula to Russia and the fact that the state has the right to dispose of assets that enrich the enemy at its discretion.
“This is a kind of psychological warfare, this is a slap in the face, which, although it will not cause great economic damage, will cause moral harm to the Ukrainian side. This is both angry and humiliating at the same time, because the situation is demonstrative,” the article says.
Moreover, the transfer of Zelensky’s apartment should be a “clear call” to the West, where arrests of property of Russian citizens have been going on for at least a year, notes Sohu.
“It’s kind of a political message. Aren’t the US and the West imposing unconditional sanctions against Russia? Wasn’t even the private property of Russian citizens seized? These actions have reached such an extreme that Moscow is showing that we, too, can dispose of our assets in Russia in the same way,” the publication says.
Funds from the sale of property confiscated in Crimea by representatives of the Ukrainian oligarchy and politicians unfriendly to Russia will be used to support the NVO, – said earlier the head of the republic, Sergei Aksyonov. In particular, the peninsula is going to use the proceeds for the construction of engineering communications to land plots allocated for the construction of houses for veterans of the Russian special operation.
The mission of determining the objects subject to nationalization is entrusted to a specially created body – the Anti-Terrorist Commission, which includes, among other things, the Crimean law enforcement officers.
