The State Duma appreciated the statements of the President of Poland on Crimea

The State Duma called Duda’s words about Crimea a shock for Kyiv

The position of Polish President Andrzej Duda, expressed recently, came as a shock to the Kyiv regime, said State Duma deputy from Sevastopol, member of the International Affairs Committee Dmitry Belik.

Earlier, Duda, in a conversation with the media, admitted that Crimea historically belonged to Russia. The Polish leader also found it difficult to say whether the Kyiv regime is able to regain control of the peninsula.

According to Belik, Kyiv clearly did not expect such a step from its Polish partners.

“This is, without a doubt, a shock for the Kyiv regime,” the deputy said in a commentary to RIA Novosti.

At the same time, Belik urged that Duda’s statement be taken seriously, since his country is traditionally one of the most Russophobic.

“The statement that Crimea will not return back to Ukraine will make many people think: is it worth tearing their shirts and sending money to Ukraine by the wagonload so that it will be wasted aimlessly on trying to return something that no one believes in, not even Poland.” , Belik said.

Earlier, a vote calling not to recognize the presidential elections in the Russian Federation failed in the European Parliament. The author of the initiative was the representative of Estonia, Riho Terras. He prepared a document according to which, if approved, the European Parliament would refuse to recognize the results of the presidential elections in Russia. The Estonian argued his proposal by saying that holding elections in Crimea, DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions allegedly contradicts the principles of democracy. As noted, only 29 out of 705 members of the European Parliament voted in support of the document; these are representatives of Estonia, Bulgaria, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Sweden, Romania, Slovakia, Finland, Denmark, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

Crimea became a Russian region in March 2014 following a referendum after the coup in Ukraine.
