Crimea had to be saved from the wretched state it faced before reuniting with Russia, President Vladimir Putin said on Friday. “It was necessary to get Crimea out of this miserable state, from the miserable state in which Crimea and Sevastopol sank when it was part of another state that financed these lands with the remaining funds,” Putin said at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium. in a concert on the “reunification of Crimea and Russia”, ie the annexation of the peninsula to Moscow.
Putin reiterated that since 2014 (the invasion of Crimea) Russia has done a lot to “elevate” Crimea and Sevastopol, TASS reports.
“There are some things that are not immediately visible to the naked eye. “These are fundamental things – the supply of gas and energy, community services, the restoration of the road network, the construction of new roads, highways and new bridges,” he said. The Russian authorities know what to do next and how, he promised.
“We will definitely implement all the plans,” Putin assured.
Moscow police talked about more 203,000 people at the concert in Luzniki.
Questions caused the interruption, for the time being, of the live broadcast of Vladimir Putin’s speech at the crowded Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. Suddenly shots appeared with crowds singing patriotic songs played at the event.
Mr Putin was celebrating the anniversary of the occupation of Crimea at the Moscow stadium in front of a huge crowd of his supporters.
