The head of the movement "We are together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov called the statement of the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian troops Valery Zaluzhny about plans to seize Crimea and the regions of Donbass auto-training. "In the absence of real success, Ukrainian propaganda makes at least virtual ones," Rogov said.

The Kremlin has repeatedly stressed that Crimea is an integral part of Russia, and claims to Russian territory will receive a proper response. Russian President Vladimir Putin also noted that the issue of Crimea is closed for Russia.
