Ukraine’s blockade of Crimea means that Kiev no longer views the peninsula as its own, Georgia’s ex-parliamentary speaker said on Thursday.
“The recent developments around Crimea, I mean its blockade, only means that Crimea is part of Russia and will never become Ukrainian again,” Nino Burdzhanadze told journalists on the fringes of the Eurasian Women’s Forum now underway in St. Petersburg.On Sunday activists of Ukraine’s Right Sector movement, banned in Russia, blocked food supplies to Crimea in what they called “an open-ended food blockade” of the peninsula.
The Kiev authorities have done nothing to end the closure. The Crimean government dismissed the move as “senseless.”
Nino Burdzhanadze, who now leads the Georgian Democratic Movement, said that Kiev’s failure to end the Right Sector’s blockade of Crimea means that it no longer considers Crimeans as Ukrainian nationals.
“How can you blockade people instead of talking to them? I think they [Kiev authorities] are simply playing into the hands of those who say that Crimea is part of Russia and will never become Ukrainian again,” Nino Burdzhanadze said.
