After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the tendency for the outflow of Russians from the peninsula intensified.
Russia is preparing to block the departure of its citizens from the occupied Crimea . The formal reason for such actions is the fight against “Ukrainian saboteurs” and the prevention of possible “terrorist attacks”, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
“Information has been confirmed that the Rosguard has been blocking traffic on the Crimean Bridge towards the Russian Federation. The occupation authorities will also restrict the movement of the ferry and air communication between the peninsula and the Russian Federation, “the statement reads.
It is noted that in this way the Putin authorities are trying to respond to the panic among Russian citizens who illegally moved to the Ukrainian Crimea after February 2014.
According to intelligence, the occupiers are trying to stop the flow of refugees from the peninsula, as in recent weeks, after the Russian army invaded Ukraine, the trend of outflow of Russian citizens from the Crimea has intensified.
At the same time, members of the families of Russian officers, law enforcement officers and representatives of the occupation administration of Sevastopol are among the “fugitives”. They urgently sell real estate, change the registration of residence, remove business and assets from the peninsula.
“By limiting the possibility of leaving Crimea, Putin is actually holding 600,000 Russian citizens hostage, who are now illegally on the peninsula and are beginning to understand the uncertainty of their legal status,” the Defense Ministry said.
