December 21, 2017 (UNIAN) Russian socialite Ksenia
Sobchak, a long-time TV host now intending run for president, believes that if
Ukraine regains control over the occupied Crimea, a civil war will erupt in
Russia, an UNIAN correspondent reported quoting Sobchak as saying at a meeting
with Ukrainian journalists.
"The situation with Crimea has already taken
place, and any [Russian] politician who says that they will simply return it to
Ukraine is deceiving [people]. This is impossible, this is populism... Imagine
Russia say: Crimea is not ours anymore, we are withdrawing from Donbas. What
will happen next? There will be a civil war. In my opinion, this is an obvious
thing," Sobchak said. According to her, "today any person today who
is a politician in Russia cannot come here and say: we will return these people
and Crimea to Ukraine. It's impossible to do so, and only a dictator could do
it." As Sobchak stressed, within a few years after the change of power in
Russia, an internationally-recognized referendum should be held. At the same
time, she stated, the return of the Crimea before such referendum is an
“unreal” thing while returning to the status quo – an "impossible”
thing."
