“Thanks to the decisive action of self-defense squads, the attempt to seize the building of the Interior Ministry was derailed. This attempt confirms the intention of prominent political circles in Kiev to destabilize the situation on the peninsula,” the statement added.
"We believe it is extremely irresponsible to further pressure the already tense situation in the Crimea," the ministry stated stressing its concerns over the latest developments in the region.

- В России крайне обеспокоены последним развитием событий в Крыму.
В ночь на 1 марта неизвестными вооруженными людьми, направленными из Киева, была предпринята попытка захвата здания Министерства внутренних дел Автономной Республики Крым. В результате вероломной провокации имеются пострадавшие. Благодаря решительным действиям отрядов самообороны попытку захвата здания МВД удалось предотвратить.
Последнее подтверждает стремление известных политических кругов в Киеве дестабилизировать ситуацию на полуострове.
Призываем тех, кто дает подобные приказы из Киева, к сдержанности. Считаем крайне безответственным дальнейшее нагнетание и без того напряженной обстановки в Крыму.
