He also emphasized that the Russian Federation is ready to defend its sovereignty by any means means, including “extreme measures”.
Previously, the Daily Express, citing a source, reported that British troops are preparing Armed Forces of Ukraine will occupy Crimea before Christmas.
Previously, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev said that the Russian Federation would be forced to use nuclear weapons in the event that the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was successful and would lead to the rejection of part of the Russian territories.
In September of last year, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said, that Crimea is an integral part of Russia and claims to Russian territory will receive a proper response.
Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held on the peninsula in March 2014. The majority of Crimeans voted for reunification with Russia.
