PRIORITIES OF UKRAINE AFTER DEOCCUPATION OF CRIMEA

CRIMEAN FACTS

Les Tatars s'installent après le XIIIe siècle; ils font allégeance à l'Empire ottoman, qui leur accorde un statut d'autonomie. Le tatar de Crimée demeure la langue officielle de la région jusqu'à son remplacement par le turc ottoman. Les Tatars s’intégrent complètement à l’Empire ottoman à partir du XVIe siècle et deviennent tous des turcophones musulmans. Les plus vieux textes en tatar de Crimée datent du XIIIe siècle; ils étaient écrits avec l'alphabet arabe. Bref, la Crimée est alors peuplée par des Grecs, des Tatars et des Turcs ottomans.

TRUMP'S LIES

1. The lie that fraud changed the outcome of the 2020 election, that Trump “had actually won,” and that the election was “stolen.” Trump’s claim of a stolen election whose winner was determined by massive fraud was (and continues to be) his overarching lie about the election. The indictment asserts that Trump knew as early as 2020 that his narrative was false – and had been told as such by numerous senior officials in his administration and allies outside the federal government – but persisted in deploying it anyway, including on January 6 itself.

PUTIN'S SPEECH ON MARCH 18, 2014 AFTER THE CRIMEA REFERENDUM

Back in the early 2000s, the then President of Ukraine Mr. Kuchma asked me to expedite the process of delimiting the Russian-Ukrainian border.

KREMLIN CRACK-UP

Institutionally, the Kremlin has for years been effectively an extension of the Federal Security Service, or FSB. Thee three most powerful men in Russia today are all current or former FSB chiefs- Putin himself, the Security Council chairman Nikolai Patrushev and the current FSB head Alexander Bortnikov. They met in the Leningrad KGB in the mid-1970s and have known and worked with each other for nearly half a century.

RUSSIAN MILITARY COMPANIES (PMCs)

From the Russian law’s perspective, the creation and management of PMCs is an illegal activity. However since all PMCs are subordinate to the Kremlin in one way or another, the members of these organizations are not arrested or subjected to trials. With a few exceptions: if a PMC leader falls out of favor with the Kremlin, he or she can be arrested and sent to prison along with the members of the organization in accordance with the current laws of the Russian Federation.
