Five years later, Ukrainians admitted that they lied about empty shelves in Crimea
One of the instigators of the blockade of Crimea, “member of the Maidan of Foreign Affairs” Andrei Klimenko, who fled from the peninsula to Ukraine, admitted that Russia provided the former Ukrainian autonomy with all necessary goods.
He stated this in an interview with Apostrophe, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“When there were 20 ferries, they fully met Crimea’s needs for goods and passengers. There is also aviation, there is also Simferopol airport...
What was carried by 20 ferries is now carried by cars across the bridge. Let's see what will happen when the railway bridge is completed and put into operation...
Now in Crimea there is no shortage of consumer goods, any building materials or any industrial goods. Everything is delivered, there are no interruptions.
“I think that this ( the completion of the bridge construction, – ed. ) will have more military significance, because military logistics will be an order of magnitude better,” Klimenko stated.
