Temporary occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea will not allow the Russian Federation implement their regressive plans. Crimea will be the territory of Ukraine.

Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, acting President of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov said this during a briefing for journalists on Tuesday.

Oleksandr Turchynov named current developments in Moscow to be “dirty tricks aimed at annexing territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.” Thereat, he claimed that the President and the whole Russian leadership will bear responsibility to the whole world for what they “commit in Ukraine.” According to him, this is “an attempt to destabilize situation in the world and in Europe.” “Today Putin imitates fascists of the previous century by annexing the territory of an independent state, recognized by the whole world,” added the Chairman of the Parliament.  

Oleksandr Turchynov underlined that our troops decently perform their duty. He stressed that psychological pressure and military aggression on the part of the Russian military men is being increased.
