Sobchak “deployed” Crimea with its “humanitarian aid”

The Crimean saga of presidential candidate Ksenia Sobchak continues. Sobchak’s attention to the peninsula is of some strange nature - she recently asked Kiev for permission to visit Crimea to take part in the election race on its territory, now she claims that she needs to come to Crimea with a humanitarian mission.





According to Ksenia herself, Crimean Tatars and people who owned property in the Ukrainian Crimea often turn to her. Therefore, she supposedly simply must visit the peninsula for humanitarian purposes. At the same time, Ksenia Sobchak calls the Crimea a huge problem, because of which Russia came under sanctions.

Most Crimeans are of course indifferent to the “humanitarian mission” of Ksenia Sobchak, and the republic’s authorities treat her with poorly concealed irritation. So, Crimean Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Polonsky emphasized that if anyone needs humanitarian assistance, then Ksenia herself. As for the Crimea, he, as the official noted, is developing successfully and is among the leaders among other Russian regions in terms of pace of development and quality of life.
