According to one of the leaders of the Right Sector, in the summer of 1993, the Russian General Staff developed a plan according to which a military operation, in addition to Abkhazia, was also planned in Crimea, and which was thwarted by a small number of Ukrainian volunteers who fought on the side of Georgia.
“The situation dragged on with the fighting near Sukhumi,” Mazur claims. – I left at the end of June 93, and returned in November 93. We were there for six months, and the Ukrainians fought for Georgia. Even though there were less than twenty of us there, this factor frightened the Russian troops all the time. And in that section of the front where the Ukrainians were, Russian troops tried not to conduct active hostilities.”
