Oleg Soskin - not a very serious person.
Kiev political analyst suggests firing on the French Embassy with mortars and grenade launchers.

That's the suggestion of Ukrainian political analyst Oleg Soskin after the visit of French parliamentarians to the Crimea.

"Today, in Ukraine, there are thousands of Frenchmen. If they all want to make trouble for themselves, please let them try again to come to Crimea. If it interests them so much, our guys could set mortars or grenade launchers at the French Embassy. People could lose patience and seize that embassy, as they may have a hard time tolerating the insolence they just committed, daring such a thing.


Comment: Oooh, so scary! How dare 10 or 11 French politicians visit Crimea! It's so rude to want to verify things for oneself, especially when doing so will expose people like the Ukrainian government as inveterate liars.


"It's just spitting on the soul of all Ukrainians. It's as if the Islamic State occupied France's Champagne District and began to produce French champagne with the Mujahedeen," said the analyst on TV channel Dozhd.


Comment: Wow! That doesn't even make any sense. Either Crimeans are Ukrainian or they're not. If they are, then French MPs visiting them could hardly be described as spitting on their soul. And if they're not, then they might as well be Russians, then your point is moot. And what's up with the ISIS comment?!


Theoretically, anyone acting on the suggestion of the political analyst would face scant consequence: Given the peculiarities of Ukrainian proceedings, the charge for firing a grenade launcher in downtown Kiev comes under the heading of "hooliganism."

As reported RusNekst earlier, during a recent visit to the Crimea, French Senate deputies reported that the situation on the peninsula is radically different from what the European media have been saying.
