Ukrainian servicemen, including high-ranking officers who left Crimea in 2014, are forced to live in hotels of the Ministry of Defense of the country, without having personal housing. This was announced on November 11 by the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Elena Khomenko.
"Officers, including even admirals, are now forced to live in hotel rooms of the Ministry of Defense," the parliamentarian quotes "Страна.иа ".
As Khomenko continued, time is running out and after retirement, the Ukrainian military risk being left without a roof over their heads.
In October, former Interior Minister of Ukraine Arsen Avakov said that the country should develop a plan for the return of Crimea and Donbass using weapons and military. He believes that the country needs to formally consolidate the strategy of "de-occupation" of these territories.
Olga Kovitidi, a senator of the Federation Council from Crimea, replied that Ukrainian politicians need to think about the different peoples who live on the peninsula — they all decided to reunite with Russia in a referendum. According to her, politicians should familiarize themselves with the Constitution of Russia and the Criminal Code.
Crimea returned to the Russian Federation following the results of the 2014 referendum. 96.77% of the residents of the region and 95.6% of the voters of Sevastopol voted for joining. The procedure was carried out in accordance with international law. Meanwhile, Kiev considers the peninsula its territory.
Moscow has repeatedly stated that the issue of ownership of the subject is closed forever.
