All Russians in the illegally occupied Ukrainian territory of Crimea should flee while they have the chance, National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) secretary Oleksiy Danilov suggested during a television interview on June 20.
Danilov said that fortification lines observed in the latest satellite images of Crimea indicate that Russia fears that it will lose the peninsular it occupied in 2014.
Reports indicate that numerous fortification lines are being constructed between the border with mainland Ukraine and the logistical hub in Dzhankoi in the north of Crimea. Russian troops have been observed moving into coastal mini-hotels near the ongoing fortification construction.
“They realize that it's only a matter of time before we come and kick them out,” Danilov said.
“And I would advise everyone to use the services of the facility they have today (the Kerch Bridge) as soon as possible to be safe. Whoever manages to, let's say, come back to their homeland from where they came, they would be happy with that. They cannot escape through Ukraine."
In the same interview, Danilov emphasized that Ukraine will return to its pre-2014 borders and that all losses caused by the Russian invaders will be compensated.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
