Occupiers in Crimea are urgently setting up ferry service between peninsula and Russia, - Chubarov
The occupation authorities in Crimea are urgently streamlining the ferry service between the occupied peninsula and the territory of Russia, realising that the Kerch Bridge has become vulnerable.
The head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Refat Chubarov wrote about this on his Facebook page, Censor.NET reports.
"The Russian occupiers are aware that the bridge across the Kerch Strait has become vulnerable to high-precision and long-range weapons already available to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and therefore they are urgently arranging a ferry crossing between the occupied Crimea and the territory of the Russian Federation," the post reads.
Chubarov expressed doubt that the six ferries that run between the peninsula and Russia would be enough to evacuate all the demoralised Russian army units that would be locked in Crimea.
He also addressed the nearly one million Russian citizens who have illegally settled in Crimea.
"Do not rely on ferries - there will be only six of them, which will not be able to evacuate even all the military of the Russian occupation army, so the sooner you voluntarily leave Crimea, the more trouble you will avoid when the liberation of Crimea by the Armed Forces of Ukraine begins. There is no point in encroaching on other people's lands," Chubarov wrote.
