"This year has been quite a tough one, and we've all been through rather a lot. So, I propose for now, some positive. We are simply going to speak to people here, on a Russian beach, in Eupatoria, Crimea, see what's going on!", — says Graham at the beginning of the video.
"Hi, we are from Kostroma, we’ve come to Eupatoria for the first time, as a family, and we are in awe, it’s amazing, unforgettable! The beach is excellent, the sea is warm – the Black sea is the very best!" — says Zhanna from Kostroma.
"I’ve been visiting Eupatoria off and on for years, since 2006 when Crimea was Ukraine, then in recent years, since Crimea has become Russia – says Maksim. – Something I like about Crimea – the beaches are monitored, there is no smoking allowed on the beaches, areas for smoking are separate, areas with deck chairs are separate, and people are friendly with each other! It’s excellent!"
