Russians are fleeing Crimea amid fears that Ukraine will soon move to recapture the region that Vladimir Putin illegally annexed in 2014, according to local media reports.
Emil Ibragimov, the head of the Crimean project and educational platform Q-Hub, told Radio NV in a video published on Friday that Russians are fleeing from Crimea to the neighboring Russian region of Krasnodar because they fear Ukraine will eventually liberate the Black Sea peninsula.
Ibragimov said that many Russian citizens who settled in Crimea after it was occupied eight years ago had already left.

His remarks coincide with an assessment by the British Ministry of Defence on Friday. This concluded that Russia is regrouping its forces in preparation for a potential Ukrainian push into Crimea and other Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine following the withdrawal of Russian troops from the western portion of the southern Kherson region on November 10.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to take back Crimea during a televised address on August 29, saying that Ukraine's military had "kept the goal" of recapturing Crimea since it was annexed.

Four criminals.
MTG/MATT GAETZ: “They think Zelensky is their President, and they think Ukraine is the 51rst state of the United States, but they can kiss the American people’s ass because we’re going to be turning this thing around starting in January!”

'There's No Food': Russian Soldiers Forced To Eat Dogs, Ukraine Claims

Jeebus, what a fabulist clown!
I thought they were eating babies?...
I thought Moscow was about to fall.
Was I misled?
In the Ukrainian version of Groundhog Day, the Ukrainians defeat the Russians and are victorious. Unfortunately, the next morning they are back where they started, the day must start all over again.
I've been watching the Ukrainians win "decisive victories" day after day, for months on end. Each day it starts over again, and they are back to square one.
Fake.
The targeting of 330 kilovolt transformers in various switching stations has cut some 50% of the distribution capability of Ukraine's electricity network. These transformers weigh up to 200 tons. There are no replacements. You do not buy them at the next corner but will have to order them with years of lead time. As far as I can tell Russia is currently the only producer of transformers of that type.

The lack of energy is degrading the railway network that brings weapons from the west to the eastern front. It makes redeployment of units from one front section to another very difficult and time consuming. It will give the Russian forces the advantage when they change the Schwerpunkt of their attacks from one corner of the frontline to another.
Another effect of the strikes on the electricity systems and the blackouts in the big cities that follow them is a renewed stream of refugees that will want reach western Europe. It will over time change the public opinion and the political priorities of those countries. If they fail to end the war they will have to carry the burden.
Zelensky will be here begging for more money. With his bestest little buddy Bankman-Fried and Treasury sleaze Janet Yellen. Fink is an epic elitist a-hole.
He also thought he fought in a Roman legion, marched with Napoleon when he invaded Russia, and he was a believer in reincarnation. He had a narrow band of genius, the rest of his thinking got pretty much idiotic.
Thieves and killers, all of them
Here come the Patton haters...
