“Such a march, even if one imagines its implementation, will be a march against the population of Crimea, against those who independently determined their fate. Crimean Tatars remaining on the peninsula have all the rights and freedoms that were not available to them in the Ukrainian period of the history of Crimea. Only those who are trying to build their political careers in this situation can not understand this, ”the senator believes.

Kosachev also drew attention to the fact that Russia is able to protect itself and its citizens, "and no one should have doubts about this."

Earlier, Chubarov announced plans to organize a march to the Crimea.

According to him, the purpose of the event is to “help” international organizations in the implementation of their decisions in support of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
