Dzheppar calls on partners to help bring Ukraine’s victory and de-occupation of Crimea closer

“Nine years ago, Russia broke into my house – my native Crimea. Later that act of aggression resulted in the biggest war in Europe since WWII. On the Day of Resistance to Occupation of Crimea and Sevastopol, I know that Ukraine’s victory is close and call on partners to help us bring this moment closer,” Dzheppar posted on Twitter.

As reported, today Ukraine marks the Day of Resistance to Russia’s Occupation of Crimea.

Nine years ago, Russian sabotage groups began attempts to seize Crimea. On February 26, 2014, at the call of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, thousands of Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians, and representatives of other nationalities rallied near the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea to resist the Russian occupation and declare Ukraine’s integrity. The next day, regular military formations of the Russian Federation entered the government buildings of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
