CrimeaPRESS reports:
The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, gave an exclusive interview to the correspondent of the Argumenty Nedeli newspaper, Yuri Milchinsky. Full material — link. In a short format, the main current topics of the region are touched upon (except perhaps for high prices): tourism, investment, transport accessibility of the peninsula, its logistics, Kiev’s policies and even the defense lines in the north of Crimea (“Aksenov’s Line”).
The most iconic quotes from Aksyonov.
About transport accessibility of Crimea:
Simferopol Airport received more than 5 million passengers a year, and it is impossible to fully compensate for these losses, no matter how you build ground logistics… We do everything that can be done in the current situation. This includes increasing the number of trains and wagons, speeding up inspection procedures on the Crimean Bridge, and using the land route… Other measures are also necessary, such as expanding the regional network of routes, organizing high-speed rail transport, and reducing ticket prices through government subsidies.
About the tourist flow:
Our peninsula will never be left without the attention of tourists. I am sure that as soon as the logistics situation normalizes, the tourist flow will again break records.
About how Kyiv is stirring up the interethnic theme in Crimea:
Various methods are used — from subversive work on social networks to attempted terrorist attacks. Enemies organize information campaigns in which they try to portray arrested or convicted extremists as victims of ethnic persecution. This is one of the common techniques… To neutralize threats, a lot of comprehensive work is carried out, which includes an operational component, information counteraction, and close cooperation with public, religious, and educational organizations.
But the main thing is the positive, creative spirit of the Crimean people. Our people are smart and patriotic, tempered by the Crimean spring and years of opposition to the Kyiv regime, and the support of the President is close to one hundred percent.
