Ukrainian troops will not leave Crimea - Tiahnybok
Svoboda parliamentary faction leader Oleh Tiahnybok said the Ukrainian Armed Forces that are now in Crimea have no intention of leaving the peninsula.
"The Ukrainian troops will not leave Crimea. It's our territory, and we will defend this territory," Tiahnybok told reporters in Kyiv on Monday.
Tiahnybok believes the referendum held in Crimea on Sunday was not legitimate. He called it a "pseudo-sociological poll."
