Dzhemilev: Sanctions for the annexation of the Crimea will lead to the collapse of Russia
Sanctions imposed against Russia due to the annexation of the Crimea, even if they are not strengthened, will lead to an unavoidable collapse of Russia, as was explained to the Ukrainian news agency, Apostrophe, by the former Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, Mustafa Dzhemilev.
“Putin has created so much propaganda on the annexation of the Crimea, that he has built a tremendous pseudo-patriotism. Putin’s rejection of the Crimea would be political ‘hari-kari’ for him personally. Although every day sanctions have huge impacts on Russia’s economy, and if this continues, and we hope that sanctions are strengthened, but even if they are not, Russia’s collapse is around the corner,” Dzhemilev stated.
Earlier Dzhemilev stated that the only way to protect Crimean Tatars is to force Russia to leave the Crimea through sanctions.
