There really are some supporters of the organization, and they really do [наступления Украины на Крым] waiting, but not waiting. This part is very small and insignificant, which is hidden deeply. We know this and monitor when they are preparing their terrorist attacks. They have no real influence on the situation in Crimea— said Tsekov.

The senator noted that the leaders of the Majlis (an organization recognized as extremist by a court decision) are making public statements about the alleged formation of an “underground” in Crimea to imitate activities and receive funding from Ukraine.
