"I consider that in spite of the fact that Crimea was occupied violating of all international laws this is reality that Crimea is part of Russian Federation right now. Let's see the truth. I advice to Ukrainians to see the truth too. It will be part of Russia and never will be part of Ukraine," states Navalni.
