Oleksiy Nikiforov, one of the few Crimean troops who did not betray his oath of allegiance, went on a TV panel show to speak on how the then defense minister concealed the fact that the Crimean military had defected to the enemy in the first days of Crimea seizure.
“Two days passed and he was claiming on TV that he had everything under control, although at that time the Crimean military had already defected to the enemy and flew Russian flags over their bases,” Nikiforov said at the Pravo na Vladu TV show.
