The population's mood in Russian-occupied Crimea has changed: it is becoming clear that the threat of war on the peninsula's territory is becoming a reality.

Quote from Skibitskyi: "Gradually, this is reaching the population of Crimea. We are monitoring those issues that relate to such public sentiments.

I will say this: first of all, people have changed: those who have relatives on the territory of the [Ukrainian] state - in Kyiv or Kharkiv, or relatives in the occupied territories, where villages and cities were simply destroyed. And second, for those people whose brothers, sons, fathers have died…the threat of the war coming to the territory of Crimea is already becoming a reality."
