Whether the six ferries provided for cruising will be enough for them is another matter. in order to have time to evacuate the demoralized troops that will be locked up on the peninsula,” he said.

“So, the citizens of Russia who imagined that they could settle on stolen foreign territory: do not rely on ferries – there will be six of them in total, which will not be able to evacuate even all the military of the Russian occupation army. Therefore, the sooner you voluntarily leave Crimea, the you will avoid more troubles when the liberation of Crimea by the Armed Forces of Ukraine begins. Because there is no need to encroach on other people’s lands,” the head of the Mejlis addressed the invaders.
