Head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people: “Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars have taken heart and expect the liberation of Crimea”

“Everyone realizes that the liberation of Crimea is a matter of time,” Refat Chubarov, head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, said in an interview with Radio Liberty. He stressed that everyone reacts to information about explosions in Crimea in their own way, but ethnic Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars who did not accept the annexation are waiting for release.
In addition, he drew attention to the activation of the partisan movement in the Crimea. Chubarov stressed that the partisans will show themselves when the Ukrainian army approaches the Ukrainian village of Chongar (the last village before the bridge to the Crimea).

“Now no one believes those fables that, they say, don’t worry – Crimea is forever “Russian land,” said the head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people.
