Aksjonova’s advisor indicates in the video that there is a lot of water in the place, so it is easier to swim than to go.
–
Later, Aksjonova’s press secretary stated that she did not know who the people were after him.
–
The Crimean Ministry of Emergency Situations also pointed out that floating people are not lifeguards, but usually people who “could have come up with something smarter than swimming behind a boat”.

It was raining heavily in the Crimea on Thursday night. More than 200 houses have been flooded in Kerch, but part of the city center has been left without electricity.
