The issue of de-occupation of Crimea should be raised at the highest level; it is also necessary to add it to the agenda of the Tripartite Contact Group in Minsk, according to Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, Ukrainian MP Refat Chubarov.
"The energy blockade of Crimea will force to consider the de-occupation of Crimea at the highest international level. If it is somehow impossible at the moment, the Minsk [Contact] Group should be expanded and the issue on the return of Crimea should be considered there," he said on a Svoboda Slova talk show on Ukraine's ICTV on November 24.
In addition, the politician suggested the permanent UN mission be deployed in occupied Crimea.

It would resolve a lot of issues before we manage to return Crimea. The presence of the UN mission would not allow the occupation authorities to flagrantly violate human rights," Chubarov said.
He also said that the Crimea could not remain in complete blackout: "it is not normal."
