Putin's envoy likened the annexation of the Crimea in the sandbox with the game: there is no friendship - to give toys and go to a different sandbox

The transfer of the Crimea in the Ukraine in 1954 "did not match any Soviet or foreign legislation." This was stated by the plenipotentiary representative of the Russian president to the occupied Crimea, Oleg Belavenets at a meeting with the political columnist for The Japan Times, Gregory Clark, said the agency "Krym.Media."

According to him, this decision is only "a personal initiative of Nikita Khrushchev" - the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

He referred to the preamble of the document embodying the decision on the transfer, which states that "the transfer is a sign of eternal friendship between the Ukrainian and Russian peoples." "But if there is no friendship, you know, like in the sandbox - to give my toys and go get yourself another sandbox," - said the envoy.

He also noted that in the 90 years of the last century in Russia was "difficult period." "And at that time Crimea departed for unknown reasons completely to Ukraine", - said Belavenets.

Recall, Russia annexed the Crimea in March 2014. The authorities of Russia and the pro-Kremlin politicians began to harp on the alleged illegal transfer of Crimea to Ukraine in Khrushchev's time.
