This is how she reacted to the news that the head of the Crimean Council of Ministers, Sergei Aksenov, turned to Vladimir Putin with a request for help to ensure peace on the peninsula.
“It is possible, in this situation, at the request of the Crimean government, to even introduce our limited contingent in order to ensure the safety of the Black Sea Fleet and Russian citizens living in the territory of Crimea. The decision, of course, is up to the president of our country, the supreme commander in chief. But today, given the situation, even this option cannot be ruled out. We must protect people,” RIA Novosti quoted Matvienko as saying.
Before this, the publication quoted an unnamed source in the Putin administration, who promised that the appeal of the Crimean government would not go unnoticed.
