❗️ No “platforms” for discussing Kiev’s “phantom pains” will convince the people of 🇷🇺#Crimea to change their decision, made at the 2014 vote. No discussions of alleged violations of intl standards can abolish legitimate right to self-determination.
🗓 Republic Day is observed in #Crimea on January 20. A pan-Crimean referendum was held #OTD in 1991: 93% of Crimean residents voted for restoration of autonomy. The Crimeans exercised their right to choose in 2014 by voting for reunification with #Russia. https://is.gd/9iv15p
