Occupational authorities of Crimea asserted that russians helped to annexe peninsula
So-called head of occupied Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, confirmed by own actions that russian forces helped to seize peninsula in 2014. As reported media recently he has met with Pskov Mayor Ivan Tsetsersky and thanked the Russian military for their help in annexion.
A screenshot of Tsetsersky's message about his conversation with Aksyonov was published on Facebook by the Russian edition Moskovsky Komsomolets in Pskov. Tsetsersky posted his photo with Aksyonov with a caption saying that the latter "once again thanked Pskov paratroopers and special forces for their skillful actions in the spring of 2014 to reunite Crimea with Russia."
"Pskov Mayor Ivan Tsetsersky rather routinely and yet unexpectedly shared details of a special operation in Crimea," the edition said.
