He's got a point though, I have hard time thinking of Crimea as an active war zone. Not to mention that Sevastopol is a central naval base, it's literally sitting on top and between arsenals. It's been attacked so much that indeed it may qualify as one. But drive half an hour away, and it's still the same leisury Crimea. You're only in danger if some AA installation is nearby or you're between launch sites and possible targets so that shot down missiles may rain on you. Which is btw not what happened at the beach, today's videos prove that cluster munitions deployed correctly and so it was indeed aimed there, not accidentally shot down by AA.

I answered on another thread.

My point was not to blame the victim but was to point out that Crimea has been constantly attacked and if people want to live their lives normally - which I support - they just need to understand the risk even if they’re willing to take it.

It’s possible that this was deliberate on civilians. The silence from the Americans and the gloating from the Ukrainians seems to point to it and it’s something that I wouldn’t put past them. They’ve been doing it in Donbass and Belgorod so why not Crimea?

That’s all.
