“Their recognition, frankly, does not bother us at all. We expect nothing more from such statements than such statements. The most important thing for us is that the Crimeans and Russia as a whole recognized these elections, ”Tsekov said.

According to the senator, such statements "indicate that they do not assess the situation as it really is."

“They are in captivity of those stamps that have worked out in the Crimea. And they select the appropriate words - “occupation”. This is our land and our homeland. Therefore, we hear what they say, but we do not pay much attention to it, ”he concluded.

Earlier, the US Embassy in Ukraine announced the non-recognition of elections in the Crimea.

On September 8, a single voting day was held in Russia.
