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.

Make it so...
Newsweek isn’t a trusted source of information for anything, especially this war.
But I did come to read the Putin BoyZ sing their song. And laugh.

Newsweek is not controlled by the Washington Post or Daily Beast any more. It’s not great, but it has changed.

Worked well on Rotterdam & Warsaw. More lies from Uke Trolls.
He had a narrow band of genius, the rest of his thinking got pretty much idiotic.

Unlike Great Americans like yourself who recognize the genius and true worth of Russians, thinking them your true heroes
What’s that I hear?
UKR about to WITHDRAW from Kherson?
Wow.
Brief PR victory was not good enough?
What’s the matter? You about to do a pullout, evacuate, a little strategic repositioning?
Say it ain’t so.
Thanks marcusmaximus.
I guess you missed comment #43 reporting Russian forces digging in 60km to the east of the front because they anticipate having to retreat some more from Ukraine forces.
Too bad Comrades.
Let me know when the Ukies take Crimea, kthx.
Crimea, as with the four Donbass regions, will never be apart of Ukraine again. And you can take that to the bank.
Holy Keywords, Batman!
Wow!
Says it all about these Russian Vodka soaked chronics
China is working with Russia. And Russia is invading a former Soviet-occupied state, Ukraine. Deal with realing instead of self-gratifying to KGB memes and lies.
A former Soviet-occupied state?
Hardly… Ukraine was one of the four constituent republics of the original Soviet Union.
Is “Red Empire” your made up term for the Soviet Union, that was not formed until 1922?
