Russians are fleeing Crimea …. 24/7 > 500 cars are now always waiting to cross the Kerch Bridge to
take Russians back into Russia

Refat Chubarov, Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, has urged Russian citizens who are illegally staying in temporarily occupied Crimea to leave the peninsula immediately.

Snip

Now, as you can see for yourselves, Crimea has finally become a frontline area, and its liberation from Russian occupation forces is inevitable. There is little need to explain why you will not be able to remain in Ukrainian Crimea. However, you can still avoid inevitable punishment if you leave Crimea in time.

Every day that the Kerch Bridge remains operational is your chance to leave Crimea safely and voluntarily. Soon, there will be no such opportunity. Do not wait until the Kerch Bridge is demolished and the land corridor is finally cut off.

Do not put off your departure from Crimea until tomorrow. Pack your things and return to your homeland. Now. Later will be too late."
