President
Vladimir Putin had defended the annexation of Crimea that happened
earlier this year. He called the reunification of Russia and Crimea a
historical event, turning to ancient history to extract the roots of
the matter. Also had mentioned that the annexation has a special meaning
because so many Russian people had already lived in Crime and the
territory itself is strategically important. Crimea, as Putin said, is
as important to Russia as the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The president
noted that Russia had always supported Ukraine's Sovereignty but not the
armed capture of power that happened in Kiev prior. Russia continues to
support Ukraine's economy, despite their relations with Kiev.
