Russian so-called "authorities" start evacuation from temporarily occupied Crimea — MDI

The Main Directorate of Intelligence has reported that the Russian command and the occupation authorities in Crimea have begun evacuating from the peninsula.

The MDI representative, Andrii Yusov, said this on the national telethon, the press service quoted.

According to Andrii Yusov, Russians began to sell real estate and take their families out of Crimea.

The day before, local radio stations advised to leave the peninsula. According to the Main Directorate of Intelligence representative, this message concerns those Crimeans who collaborate with the occupation administration.

At the same time, representatives of the Russian so-called "authorities" said that everything was under control.

"Families associated with the Russians are being transferred, and very actively. And this is a reason to stop and think for everyone else who has tied their fate to Putin's criminal rashist regime. It's better to leave Crimea while you still have the opportunity," Yusov said.
