"March 16, 2014 in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea will be held a referendum to determine the status of Crimea. According to the results of the public opinion polls the overwhelming majority of the population (about 80%) sees the Crimea as a part of the Russian Federation. With Crimea our people are linked by a common history, spiritual and moral values. We are not indifferent to the fate of people with whom we lived for many years in one state. Political council of the party "Unity" supports the position of the leadership of Russia in Ukraine and Crimea in solidarity with the people in the desire for reunification with Russia.
We condemn the illegal actions of the Ukrainian nationalist extremists and appeal to the people of goodwill to join us in an effort to condemn and prevent the spread of neo-Nazism in the 21st century.
We are with the people of Crimea in this crucial time!
