Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered that flats be provided for former Ukrainian enforcement officers who betrayed their oath to Ukraine on Russia’s invasion and annexation of Crimea. Since the individuals need to have been on Ukraine’s register as needing housing, we can only guess whether the turncoats who have zealously helped Russia persecute Crimean Tatars will be thus rewarded. Or the ex-Berkut officers who killed 83-year-old veteran of the Crimean Tatar national movement Vedzhie Kashka during the ‘operation’ to arrest her.
