“I think that these figures reflect the real state of affairs.
I personally look at it this way, I also went on a business trip, went there, talked with people and, of course, they want a quiet, peaceful life and development,” Alikhanov believes.
He stressed that there is an example of Crimea, "which has changed over the years when it was reunited with Russia."
“I am sure that people have hope for reunification with Russia and for building a new peaceful life in our country,” the RT interlocutor concluded.
Previously, an INSOMAR study was conducted, according to which residents of Zaporozhye and Kherson regions see the future of their regions as part of Russia.
It is specified that 1,000 respondents in each territory took part in the survey conducted on September 6, 2022.
Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which the majority of residents voted for reunification with Russia.
