Can you give us any insight as to the different viewpoints of people living with the occupation? I hear a lot of conflicting statements regarding the amount of support that the Russians are actually getting from Crimean citizens.

Thank you for the response!

60/40 sounds like a more accurate figure. It's difficult when Western media portrays the support as being entirely fabricated by Putin while Eastern coverage denies that any sort of disagreements with the occupation even exist.

Followup: From what I understand of Putin's objectives, the occupation serves to protect the interest of those ethnic Russians or Russian supporters. Do you feel that this might have a negative impact on the ethnic divides already prevalent in Ukraine?
