In reality, it was the Empress Catherine II, And the famous General Potemkin conquered the Crimea And the Ukrainians, and the Turks And Turkish vassals. And then the Crimea developed as a province of Russia. The proof is that the latest conference last war took place in Yalta. All Western leaders arrived there. They came at the invitation of Russia to the Crimea ", - said Destin in the interview to a TV channel.
