Президент России В.В.Путин о воссоединении Крыма и России: Результат референдума 2014 года – не только возвращение исторической справедливости, восстановление исторической справедливости. Он ещё заключается в том, что мы ещё раз ясно, чётко продемонстрировали сами себе и всему миру, что наш народ имеет такую возможность и способность – объединяться вокруг интересов Родины
#OTD in 1944 Red Army liberated the city of #Yalta in #Crimea from the Nazis. During Nazi occupation, almost 71% of Yalta’s population was killed, yet citizens’ will was not broken. This city was destined to be the place where history would be made at Yalta Conference of 1945

16 апреля 1944 года войсками Красной Армии была освобождена #Ялта. Во время нацистской оккупации было уничтожено почти 71% населения города, но волю ялтинцев сломить не удалось. Городу суждено было стать местом, где вершится история - во время Ялтинской конференции 1945 года
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman #Zakharova: We will have to view the participation of certain countries, international organisations and their representatives in the #Crimea Platform initiative as an encroachment on the Russian Federation’s territorial integrity, which will have an inevitable impact on our relations.

Официальный представитель МИД России М.В.Захарова: Будем вынуждены рассматривать участие отдельных стран, международных организаций и их представителей в «Крымской платформе» как посягательство на территориальную целостность Российской Федерации, что неизбежно соответствующим образом отразится на наших отношениях.

Today in 2020 monument to Ivan Aivazovsky – great Russian artist, master of the marine art – was solemnly unveiled at Simferopol Airport in #Crimea in front of passenger terminal which is named in Aivazovsky’s honour. The shape of terminal’s building reminds of an ocean wave – a homage to Aivazovsky’s artistic legacy.

В этот день в 2020 г. в Крыму был торжественно открыт памятник Ивану Айвазовскому - великому русскому художнику, мастеру маринистического жанра. Бюст расположен перед пассажирским терминалом аэропорта Симферополя, который носит имя художника. Форма фасада здания терминала напоминает волну - в честь творческого наследия И.Айвазовского.
Today is the Day of the Republic of #Crimea! #OTD in 1991, all-Crimean referendum was conducted & majority of people were in favour of reestablishment of the autonomy. It enabled the future restoration of #Crimean autonomy & eventually paved the way for #Crimea back home - to #Russia

Сегодня отмечается День Республики #Крым! 20 января 1991 года состоялся референдум, по результатам которого большинство крымчан высказались за воссоздание автономного статуса региона. Это позволило восстановить автономию Крыма и, в последствии, вернуться домой, в Россию

#ДеньКрыма
📆 On this day, in 1783 the city of Sevastopol was founded

🛳 Today, the legendary Sevastopol retains its honorary title as the main base of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, a city of martial glory and valour of Russian sailors.

🎙 Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation General of the Army Sergey Shoigu at an expanded meeting of the Defence Ministry Board (Moscow, 19 December 2023):

💬 Russian Groups of Forces have liberated an area five times larger than that of the Lugansk and Donetsk people's republics before the special military operation began.

☝️ Following the results of referendums, the Russian Federation included four new entities with a total area of more than 83,000 square kilometres and a population of about five million people.

A naval area has been created in the Sea of Azov, which has become Russia’s internal sea. Railway traffic with Donbass has been restored. A land corridor with Crimea has been operating for more than a year. Connection by rail and road has been established.

❗️Almost three million refugees who have not seen their relatives since 2014 have returned to new regions of the Russian Federation.

❗️ The Kazan Summit Declaration contains a section on #Ukraine saying that all the parties involved agreed on the importance of resolving this conflict on the basis of the principles of the #UN Charter in their entirety and interconnectedness.

☝️ This is a critical observation. Our Western colleagues continue to play along with the Kiev regime and contend that the conflict should be resolved on the basis of the UN Charter with Ukraine preserving its territorial integrity as of the 1991 borders. However, the UN Charter is much broader than the concept of territorial integrity. In 1970, the UN General Assembly resolved that the territorial integrity of all countries must be respected provided their governments represent the entire population residing within the borders in question.

Can we claim in earnest that this regime represents the people living in the #Donetsk and #Lugansk people’s republics, #Crimea, and the #Kherson and #Zaporozhye regions at a time when, following the coup, they adopted Russophobic and racist laws outlawing the Russian language in all spheres of life in Ukraine? When they branded the people of Donbass, Novorossiya, and Crimea who rejected the coup as terrorists and unleashed a war against them using air and artillery strikes? Clearly, the answer is no.
