In Russian-occupied Crimea to Ukrainian patriots threaten old friends, calling “Ukrainian things”.

“Under Russian law, I’m not doing anything illegal. I am perceived as not quite adequate person who came up with that he is Ukrainian. But they have nothing to show me. Threatening me with old friends with whom we drank tea in my kitchen, talking, friends. Today they say to me “You live here not you”, “go to your Ukraine”, “get Out of here, bitch Ukrainian”. This is, frankly, painful to hear every time. It is impossible to get used to it”, – said Antonov.

“Never. I won’t and don’t want to do (to leave. – Ed.). Like thousands of people who live in Crimea, I realize and feel himself a Ukrainian,” – said Antonov.
