On the 20th of September, 2015 Crimean Tatars who live on the Ukraine’s mainland under the leadership of Mustafa Dzhemilev, together with the “Right Sector” started the food blockade of the Crimean Peninsula. During the last night 842 trucks stopped on the border and none of them reached the annexed Crimea.
I am bursting with anger due to the fact that for more than one and a half year the government have done nothing in terms of sanctions against the annexed territories. Instead, each day thousands of trucks drive through checkpoints to Crimea and to the occupied territories of Donbass.
I remember the story, when terrorists inspected vehicles and personal items of the Ukrainian soldiers, who had to rotate with “cyborgs” in Donetsk Airport. Now the situation is getting worse. Carriers deliver cargo every day to the occupied territories of Crimea and Donbass. Current government took under the control all deliveries and gets a large profit from this. They absolutely don’t care about keeping peace and territorial integrity in the country. But businessmen also contribute to this. Pro-Ukrainian Networks of shops, such as the «Epicentre», successfully do their business there, since the military operation has been started. Instead of bringing back under the Ukrainian control the annexed territories, we even support the further escalation of the conflict and bury thousands of our soldiers. Excuse me, but it is a sort of surrealism.
It becomes clear that the government is not interested in terminating the military conflict rapidly or returning integrated Ukraine. They do not need this. But the fact is becoming more obvious that people start realizing the situation. And the payoff for such policy will be very high.
