Aksyonov, in response to Zelensky's threat of an offensive, promised to meet him and bury him

In his Telegram channel, Aksyonov wrote that Zelensky, according to media reports, once again threatened that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would allegedly conduct a "Azov" counteroffensive.

"We are waiting. Meet. We will bury it," the head of the Republic of Crimea said.

Earlier, the chairman of the movement "We are together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov said about the accumulation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of a sufficient grouping of forces for the offensive in the Zaporozhye region.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, in turn, said that the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces is preparing its decisions in connection with the preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the offensive.

In September, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Crimea was an integral part of Russia and claims to Russian territory would receive a proper response.

Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014: the majority of residents voted for reunification with Russia.
