“Ukraine in the form in which it was, I think, will no longer remain.
This is already the former Ukraine, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
He suggested that Ukraine could exist in its former format as a federal state with full respect for the rights of national communities.
Muradov also said that not a single country that respects its people would tolerate flagrant violation of the rights of its compatriots in neighboring states.
Earlier, the head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, in an interview with RT, spoke about assistance to the liberated cities and regions of Ukraine, including Kherson, Berdyansk and Melitopol.
