The Crimean Parliament announced a sufficient number of military to protect the region

A sufficient military group has been formed in Crimea to protect the peninsula, said the head of the republican parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov.

“The front has stabilized, the situation in Crimea is quite reliable. We have enough grouping in case of some emergency events. The Crimeans believe in the armed forces, the Black Sea Fleet, so in this regard we are quite well protected, ”said Konstantinov (quote according to RIA Novosti).

According to him, there were always more than enough forces for the defense of Crimea. He also stressed that if the United States and Ukraine decide to raise the stakes and try to attack Crimea, then everything will move to a “different plane.” “The special operation will stop very quickly, because one, or two, or maybe three blows will be delivered – and it will all be over. What we don’t want and what we avoided – and we have repeatedly stated this,” the head of parliament concluded.

The day before, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh statedthat the United States will support Ukraine, including a possible operation to seize Crimea. She noted that Washington considers the peninsula to be Ukrainian territory and Kyiv “has the right” to seize it back.

Crimea became part of Russia in 2014 after a referendum. According to its results, 96.77% of voters in the Republic of Crimea and 95.6% in Sevastopol were in favor of joining Russia. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said that the issue of Crimea is “finally closed.”
