The ninth anniversary of the reunification of Crimea and Sevastopol with Russia will be celebrated on Saturday on the peninsula and in other regions of the country. On this occasion festive concerts, patriotic and charity events will be held in support of participants in the special military operation in Ukraine.

President Vladimir Putin is to take part in celebrations marking the reunification of Crimea with Russia. As his press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters, an important cultural and historical object will be opened on the peninsula that day. The head of state is expected to join the ceremony via video link.

The day before, the President's work schedule was partly devoted to the same topic. On Friday, Putin held a meeting on the socio-economic development of Crimea and Sevastopol.

The head of state traditionally takes part in festive events on March 18. In previous years, he attended concerts dedicated to this date in the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow, chaired meetings related to the development of the region and visited the Crimea.

About Crimean Spring
Nine years ago, the republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol returned to Russia after a referendum was held on March 16, 2014 amid a coup in Ukraine.

In the end, 96.77% of the voters (1.233 million) in Crimea and 95.6% (262,000 in Sevastopol) backed reunification with Russia. In Crimea, the turnout reached 83.1% and in Sevastopol, 89.5%. The referendum was monitored by a group of 50 observers from 21 countries, including Israel, France and Italy. Most of the UN member-states refused to recognize the plebiscite.

On March 17, 2014 Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to recognize Crimea as a sovereign and independent state.

On March 18, 2014 Russian President Vladimir Putin, Crimea’s Prime Minister Sergey Aksyonov, chairman of Crimea’s State Council Vladimir Konstantinov and Mayor of Sevastopol Aleksey Chaly, put their signatures to the treaty on the accession of the new territorial entities to the Russian Federation. On March 21, 2014, the document was ratified by the Federal Assembly.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived in Sevastopol on the day of the ninth anniversary of Crimea’s reunification with Russia at the wheel of a car, Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said on his Telegram channel.

On such a historic day, the president is always with Sevastopol and the people of Sevastopol. Our country has an incredible leader," Razvozhayev wrote.

This is the first part of a large-scale project of the Tauric Chersonese historical and archaeological park.

"This idea, proposed by Metropolitan Tikhon, of Pskov and Porkhov, which was supported by the president, is being implemented at an incredible pace thanks to military builders’ efforts," Razvozhayev said.

Earlier it was reported that the children's art and aesthetic center and school Korsun would become part of a large cultural and educational site - the historical and archaeological museum-reserve Tauric Chersonese. On an area of 24 hectares there will be a museum of antiquity and Byzantium, an international archaeological center, an amphitheater, a reconstructed quarter of the ancient city, including museum and archaeological expositions, souvenir shops, cafes, a museum of Crimea, an archaeological landscape park, a tourist center, a museum of Christianity, a humanitarian center Korsun, a parking for 1,380 cars and other facilities.

The construction of the museum-reserve Tauric Chersonese is being carried out by specialists of the Russian Defense Ministry on instruction from President Vladimir Putin.

Thanks to Putin, Assad is alive today.
USA regime change in Syria failed and now all so called gulf nations are flying Syria government official flag, that even Turkey have been secretly sending his reps to meet Syria gov officials.

Same Gulf nations that supported and funded rebels, trained by NATO force are now welcome Assad with military parade
If only Gadaffi have requested help from Russia, Libya wouldn't be safe haven for terrorists
