Quote from Danilov: "We will liberate [Crimea – ed.] in the way that we consider necessary… And if there is a need for us to use slightly different means there, they will definitely be used."

Details: The NSDC secretary did not provide details on what kind of means he was talking about.

He also commented on the latest explosions on the peninsula.

Quote from Danilov: "The Lord is merciful to our country, he periodically sends signals to Ruscists that they need to get out of there. And these signals go the appropriate way."

Background: Recently, explosions have become more frequent in occupied Crimea. In particular, explosions happened in the west of the peninsula on 1 May. The occupiers said that their air defences had shot down the drones but some of them obviously hit their targets.

On 2 May, an explosion rocked the base of the Russian border guards near Simferopol in Russian-occupied Crimea.
