Crimean bridge: "bombed" not only in Kiev

0
Only the first day the cars were driving along the Crimean bridge, and the hype around its opening spread even across the ocean. "Bombed from the heart"Not only among Ukrainian users of social networks and among Russian liberals, but among all the so-called "Civilized" world.





The European Union Foreign Service erupted in a statement that the opening of the bridge violates the rights of Ukraine:

The Russian Federation built a bridge across the Kerch Strait to the Crimean Peninsula without the consent of Ukraine. This is another violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine by Russia. The construction of the bridge is aimed at further forced integration of the illegally annexed peninsula with Russia and its isolation from Ukraine, of which it is a part

- told the world the representative of the EU foreign service Maya Kosyanchich, adding that the bridge does not allow vessels to pass through the Kerch Strait to the ports of Ukraine in the Sea of ​​Azov. According to her, the EU continues to condemn the "annexation" of Crimea and Sevastopol.

Separately from the EU, the construction of the bridge was condemned by Britain. Her Minister for European Affairs Alan Duncan, in addition to calling the opening of the bridge “reckless behavior,” also expressed concern about the “violation of minority rights” in Crimea.

We continue to work with our partners in countering annexation, including maintaining a package of tough sanctions

- said the British minister.

The Russian embassy in the United States said that Moscow will not ask anyone for permission to build transport infrastructure in the country. A statement about this was published on Wednesday, May 16, on the official page of the diplomatic mission on Facebook.

A voice of discontent came from across the ocean. The US State Department believes that the Crimean bridge interferes with shipping, and also strengthens the "capture" of Crimea. The Russian Embassy in the United States responded to this statement:

We will not ask anyone for permission to build transport infrastructure in the interests of residents of the Russian regions


Well, and of course, the main opponent of the large-scale infrastructure facility built by Russia is Ukraine. Its president Petro Poroshenko threatens Moscow with lawsuits in all international courts. He even drew to this the deportation of Crimean Tatars (carried out by Stalin in response to the collaboration of many of them with the Nazis).

The illegal construction of the Kerch Bridge is yet another evidence of the Kremlin’s neglect of international law. Especially cynical is the fact that its discovery takes place on the eve of the next anniversary of the deportation of the Crimean Tatar people by the Stalin regime

- Poroshenko said on his blog on Facebook.

And the Foreign Minister of Ukraine Pavel Klimkin, for his part, decided that both ends of the bridge "lead nowhere." On this occasion, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, who had already passed along the Crimean bridge, expressed her opinion:

Yes, they lost territory, yes, people made that choice, but no one was going to burn bridges, everyone was only going to build them. Why did they make such comments, it is completely incomprehensible

She stressed at her briefing, which she held on the peninsula.

Well, if, according to Klimkin, the Crimean bridge "leads nowhere," then it turns out that the Crimea itself, in his own words, is "nothing." Why, then, Ukraine continues to fight for the phantom, mirage, dream, and European countries and the United States assent to Kiev in this hopeless struggle?
