The conversation took place on the night of March 2, 2014, the current head of the National Security and Defense Council in the documentary 1 + 1 "Ukraine. 100 days over the precipice ".

"In the evening of March 1, the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff comes to me and says: Alexander Valentinovich, the situation is disastrous, our units in the Crimea received an ultimatum from the Russian General Staff. Up to 21 hours they must lay down their arms, otherwise there will be an assault. We need a political solution, "Turchinov said..

After that, he contacted Naryshkin.

"At night we found Naryshkin's room. I tell him how calm it is, although he was very nervous: Look, we received an ultimatum from the Russian General Staff and I gave the command to use all available weapons. The whole world will see you as aggressors and how much blood you brought. Our guys will die, but yours will not die less.

Therefore, tell Putin that if we storm, we will use all available weapons, "Turchinov said..

According to him, it was this conversation that saved the Ukrainian military in the Crimea from storming.

"I was bluffing. But I had no other option to somehow break this offensive. Naryshkin promised that he would hand it over to Putin, and at night the offensive did not happen. And we got the necessary time to prepare for a possible offensive from the north and east, "he said..
