Crimea and Ukraine

Ukraine: "We cannot exclude this idea of separate from Ukraine We can resolve it, but, you know, in a civilized manner." , according to CBC. Ambassador Prystaiko told host Evan Solomon on The House that Crimea is very different from other parts of Ukraine, including a population made up of many Russians with strong ties and loyalties to Russia. He said as a general idea, if the people of Crimea want to live separately from Ukraine, he would support it. The Ukrainian ambassador to Canada Vadym Prystaiko said Crimea could take legal steps to separate from Ukraine and told Radio's The House that a legal referendum could be used to de-escalate tensions between Russia and Ukraine. A referendum is set to be held on Sunday in Crimea. Western leaders have condemned the process and will not recognize the result of the vote. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
