“These are the people who occupied, they will never love Crimea the way we love.
For you, this nature is unique, for you this sea is childhood, these rapans are delicious.
When you eat these rapana ... I'm looking, and where is the sand, because in childhood it was like this - on the teeth.
It’s impossible to instill it.
It's mine.
I know this Crimea ... This is my land, this is not their land, ”the President of Ukraine said in an interview with the Dom TV channel.
He stressed that Crimea "will never be Russian territory."
“Their generations will not grow up here, and their children are not here, and they will not die for our land.
It will never be Russian territory, just never, ”Zelensky said.
The head of state summed up that the Crimean cities "will return to their homes, a matter of time."
At the end of April, a working group formed by the Crimean authorities submitted documents to the Investigative Committee and the FSB of Russia to initiate a criminal case on the fact of Ukraine's organization of a water blockade of Crimea.
As noted by the plenipotentiary of the President of Russia in the Southern Federal District, Vladimir Ustinov, Kiev deliberately creates conditions for the deterioration of the environmental situation in Crimea.
Russia applied to the ECHR with an interstate complaint against Ukraine, in particular, because of the water blockade of Crimea, and the Crimean authorities expressed their readiness to provide evidence of the blockade.
As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, "the fate and future of Crimea is forever with Russia, whether someone likes it or not."
Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum was held there in March 2014 - the majority of residents were in favor of reunification with Russia.
