Andrii Yusov, a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, stated this on the air of the TV channel "Freedom".
According to the representative of the military intelligence of Ukraine, the day before, local residents heard a warning on FM stations that they should prepare to leave. Yusov believes that the warning applies to Crimeans cooperating with the occupation authorities.
"For peace and order there, it is necessary to de-occupy the peninsula and return the legitimate Ukrainian government there. Actually, to return Crimea to its native Ukrainian harbor, which will happen soon. Therefore, to all those who work for Russia, really the closest sometimes it is better to leave the territory of Ukrainian Crimea," Andriy Yusov said.
The representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine also reported that the Russian command on the peninsula and the occupation administration are very actively selling real estate and taking their families out of Crimea.
"But the others, the rank, and file, are told: don't worry, everything is calm, everything is under control⦠But it's already like a meme that the "special operation" is going according to plan⦠Families connected with the Russians are taken away, and very actively. And this is a reason to think for everyone who linked their fate with Putin's criminal racist regime. It is better to leave Crimea while there is such an opportunity," concluded Andriy Yusov.
