Senator Pushkov commented on the words of Bulgarian President Radev about Crimea as a part of Russia 
In the 21st century, the law of the strong actually replaced international law. So Senator Alexei Pushkov in his Telegram channel commented on the words of Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, who called Crimea a part of Russia.
“Did NATO have the right to bomb Yugoslavia? No. Libya? No. Did the United States and Britain have the right to occupy Iraq? No. Did Berlin, Paris and Warsaw have the right to break the guarantees to Yanukovych? No. Did the United States have the right to strike at Syria? No. And so on, “the Russian politician said.
Radev, who is running for a second presidential term, called Crimea a part of Russia in pre-election debates with his main opponent Anastas Gerdzhikov. He pointed out that foreign policy needs pragmatism, and the anti-Russian sanctions imposed over Crimea have no effect.
After that, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry summoned Bulgarian Ambassador to Kiev Kostadin Kodzhabashev and demanded to refute the words of the head of state. The Ukrainian department said that such statements do not contribute to the development of relations.
Radev himself later commented on Kiev's demand to clarify its words about the ownership of the peninsula, again stating that Crimea is currently Russian, such are the political realities, and this question is clear.
The European Commission, in response to a request to comment on Radev's words, also recalled the solidarity position of the EU countries, which is that Crimea is Ukrainian.
Crimea joined Russia in March 2014 based on the results of the referendum. The overwhelming majority of countries in the world, including Moscow's partners in the Eurasian Union, do not recognize the change in ownership of the peninsula. Afghanistan, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Syria, Sudan and Palestine supported Russia's position.
