On Friday, December 3, another exercise was held in the occupied Crimea, during which more than 500 military personnel were involved. This was reported by the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry.
As part of the exercise, the Russian militaryl performed live firing at targets from all types of small arms and anti-tank systems, driver mechanics practiced driving techniques in overcoming obstacles when driving over rough terrain and the sea coast.
We remind that military exercises, propaganda of military service and conscription into the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation are regularly held in the occupied Crimea. The Russian military exercises are destroying the ecosystem of the peninsula and are a flagrant violation of international law.
Earlier, NATO in its statement on Crimea condemned Russia's ongoing large-scale military build-up in Crimea and expressed concern over Russia's efforts and announced plans to further build up military power in the Black Sea region.
