Apparently Sokolov was only a face on the screen (haven't seen the video), so prerecorded footage, deepfake or even simple video editing are all possibilities. The rest of Shoiqus quotes are pretty much what you'd expect from him.

Regardless of Sokolov the situation in Crimea seems to be in Ukrainian control, I hope they can close the bridge soon.

The cardboard-cutout-on-a-stick was judged a success by reuters I guess.

Since when did reuters start giving lip service to russian propaganda? They showed an undated, unverifiable video chat.

To be fair, the Ukrainian claim is also unverified.

True, in this case one side is notorious liars.

Exactly, though you have to wonder what proof they had to make the claim.

A while ago.

Disgusting. Thanks for sharing, I’ll mentally flag every reuters article as potentially flawed at best, purely misleading at worst.
