Thanks to the moral courage, the unity of the multi-ethnic people of the Republic of Crimea, its residents have achieved their goal. Now, the modern Crimea can confidently go forward, advance and build mutually beneficial relations with friendly countries.
The people of the Donetsk People’s Republic will always be grateful to the Crimeans and the Crimean leadership for their fraternal support for us in the most hardest time till nowadays!
The Crimea is a reliable friend and partner of ours. I am sure that our friendship will only be growing stronger with every passing year, and our mutually beneficial relations will be gaining momentum.
