Ukrainian Navy called on Russian tourists to flee occupied Crimea

The Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine called on Russian tourists to leave Crimea due to the large number of military facilities there, which are a legitimate target for the Defense Forces. Speaker of the Ukrainian Naval Forces Dmytro Pletenchuk said this during a telethon on July 1.

According to him, there are now fewer tourists on the beaches of Crimea, even on weekends, and after each closure of the Crimean bridge there is a line of cars leaving the peninsula.

“Therefore, we can say that, firstly, not everyone has reached it. Secondly, it should be noted that this industry in Crimea often survives at the expense of state employees, for whom these trips are simply purchased by their enterprise or budget. Therefore, they fill Crimea with tourists administratively in a command manner. And you know what “shara” means for a Russian - you can go under fire,” he said.

The speaker called on Russian tourists to leave the peninsula, because there are many military installations there.

"There is only one piece of advice - leave our territory. This is firstly. Secondly, we warn that there are many military installations in Crimea, and as long as they are there, no one will leave them alone. Make appropriate decisions that will help you preserve life and health,” Pletenchuk told tourists from Russia.
