Crimea’s reunification with Russia is actually a good thing and will benefit Ukraine, Ostap Drozdov, the media director of Ukrainian TV channel ZIK, told Canadian-based Ukrainian TV Vancouver.

The loss of Crimea is a positive thing for Ukraine, as the country got rid of "pro-Russian voters" that prevented Ukraine from the process of European integration, Drozdov said in an interview.

"We finally got rid of the moronic fifth column with remnant Russian grandmothers who always voted for Putin. When they were in Ukraine, they always voted for the Party of Regions and thuggish, twisted Communists. Finally, we don't have two million delusional folks, who would always spoil everything and keep pulling Ukraine down," Drozdov told the Canadian channel.

The media director from Lvov also hinted that it'll be better for Ukraine if the Donbass region left the country as well, since their population is also "pro-Russian."

Crimea seceded from Ukraine and reunified with Russia following a March 2014 referendum in which over 96 percent of voters supported the move. The vote was labelled an illegal annexation by Kiev and the West.
