Were they Russian? Or occupied Ukrainians?

Impossible to say with any certainty, however plenty of images in recent weeks have shown tourist areas generally to be deserted. I suspect the locals, being well aware of what’s really going on, are staying well away. Meanwhile, in Russia, there is much propaganda telling Russians who traditionally like to spend their vacation on the Black Sea coast that Crimea is still lovely at this time of year. So if I were to play the odds I’d say they were Russians.
