The way Home "in the air of the TV channel "Russia 1" head of the Russian Federation centuries Putin said that the Russian Federation was ready to adverse developments in the Crimea, to lead in preparedness for nuclear power, but the leadership of the state was based on the assumption that this will not happen.
