There are people in the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea who are afraid of the liberation of the peninsula, but there are also many people who are looking forward to seeing it.

This was stated by Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov in a comment for ITV’s journalists in Irpen, where the Third Summit of the International Crimean Platform is taking place.

According to the Head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, those citizens who have been living with the hope of liberation during the entire period of the russian occupation, have to feel that this process is ongoing.

“We need to give them confidence that their hopes are not in vain. That’s why we have to hold events such as the Crimean Platform, events, let’s say, with the resistance movement in the temporarily occupied territories, just destroy the occupiers in our Crimea, which, in principle, you see, and will see in the coming days,” Kyrylo Budanov said.
