“Ukrainian nationalists and journalists who are looking for sensations constantly ask the question:“ Whose Crimea? ”, Thereby trying to put people in an awkward position. Those who try to give an objective and balanced answer are subject to the same “nationwide” persecution, ”said Poklonskaya RIA Novosti.

Earlier, Maria Opanasyuk said that “smart people” will independently be able to draw a conclusion as to which country is part of Crimea.

In turn, her sister Anna added that Ukraine had "lost" the peninsula.

The situation around the words of the candidates for Eurovision from Ukraine in an interview with FAN was also commented on by musician Yuri Loza.

Crimea became the Russian region after the referendum held there in March 2014, in which the majority of the inhabitants of the peninsula called for reunification with Russia.
