The main information portal Decentralisation has published a lengthy interview with Permanent Representative Tamila Tasheva about the future of Crimea, namely its cognitive de-occupation, the state’s priority steps after the liberation of the peninsula, the colonisation policy of the Russian Federation and overcoming its consequences, and the integration of local residents into all spheres of life in Ukraine.

“Ukraine will open the way to Crimea for a huge flow of very wealthy tourists from all over Europe throughout the year. And what can Russia give them but cheap petrol, holidaymakers with trade union vouchers, as well as planes, guns, tanks and the danger associated with them? What can it offer but the impossibility of development, the impossibility of receiving quality healthcare and quality education, absolute international isolation and the impossibility of travelling? It is enough to look at a map to understand that Crimea should be part of the Mediterranean, and not Muscovy, which is more than a thousand kilometres away.”
