Deputy Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, Akhtem Chiygoz, has said Russian President Vladimir Putin is afraid of the deployment of a UN peacekeeping mission to Donbas because of the Crimean issue.
“The Normandy format should determine the overall pressure on Putin. For example, Putin is afraid of the presence of peacekeepers in the east of Ukraine as their next stage is to enter Crimea,” Chiygoz told the Ukrainian ICTV channel, as reported by the Ukrainian news outlet Censor.NET.
