According to Shkhagoshev, such a statement testifies to "a complete absence of political intuition."

The deputy stressed that Russia "is only getting stronger", and also called to remember the referendum held in Crimea, in which more than 90% of residents spoke in favor of reunification with Russia.

“All these factors indicate that both the collective West and Ukraine are powerless to change anything and oppose the absolutely honest international policy that Russia is pursuing today,” the parliamentarian explained.

Earlier, Tabakh speculated about how Ukraine could "return Crimea" to its composition.

He expressed the opinion that for this it is necessary to wait until "Russia collapses on its own."

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stressed that the Crimea issue is closed for Russia.

As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted, Crimea will forever remain with Russia.

Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which most residents voted in favor of reunification with Russia.
