"There are not and cannot be any "beaches", "tourist zones" and other fictitious signs of "peaceful life" in #Crimea" - Mikhailo Podolyak, adviser to Ukrainian President
So he basically said there are no civilians in Crimea? This should greatly increase support among the people there. Oh and tribunals, be it Russian, Ukrainian and international should save this tweet too.
What of the people who lived in Crimea prior to 2014? No peace for them? I thought these were supposed to be Ukrainians living under occupation, why is their own country threatening them?
Well, the true scale of the internal migration is hard to gauge because Russia is Russia, but in classic fashion there's likely been quite a bit of forced migration but could be as many as 800,000 to 1,000,000 people who have been "brought" into Crimea one way or another and a number of native Ukrainians and Tatars have been forcibly relocated.
Edit: and I found one estimate putting the number of internally displaced Crimeans in Ukraine at 20,000 – 100,000 (pg. 2), but another estimate had an upper limit of 200,000
