The United States introducing sanctions regarding Crimean Prime
Minister Sergei Aksyonov and Supreme Council Head Volodymyr Konstantynov
will not obstruct the process of Crimea joining Russia, Crimean First
Deputy Prime Minister Rustam Temirgaliyev said.
“These sanctions will have no impact on the work of Sergei Aksyonov
and Volodymyr Konstantynov, same as they will not obstruct the process
of Crimea joining Russia. It is unclear to me if it is necessary to
introduce sanctions regarding republic leaders, who are supported by 97%
population,” Temirgaliyev told Interfax.
According to the information of Temirgaliyev, Aksyonov and Konstantynov do not own property in the U.S.
“They do not have any property in the U.S. – they are ordinary
Crimean residents, who are supported by people.” Temirgaliyev said.
The Crimean authorities will not react to the U.S. sanctions, Temirgaliyev said.
